- The effect of vermicompost and other fertilizers on cultivation of tomato plants (2011, background): “Root initiation, increased root biomass, enhanced plant growth and development and sometimes, altera-tions in plant morphology are among the most frequently claimed effects of vermicompost treatment (Tomati et al., 1988).”
- Vermicompost as a substitute for peat in potting media: Effects on germination, biomass allocation, yields and fruit quality of three tomato varieties (2007, background): “, 2000d), plant growth regulators (Tomati et al., 1988) or mycorrhizal colonisation of roots (Cavender et al.”
- Vermicompost treatment differentially affects seed germination, seedling growth and physiological status of vegetable crop species (2011, background): “Besides effect on soil edaphic properties, vermicompost contains biologically active substances produced through mutual interaction between microorganisms and earthworms (Krishnamoorthy and Vajranabhaiah 1986; Tomati et al. 1988).”
- Foliar Spraying of Vermicornpost Extracts: Effects on Fruit Quality and Indications of Late-Blight Suppression of Field-Grown Tomatoes (2006, background): “Later it was demonstrated that the growth of ornamental plants after adding aqueous extracts from vermicompost showed similar growth patterns as with the addition of auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins through the soil (Grappelli et al., 1987; Tomati et al., 1988; Tomati & Galli, 1995).”
- Vermicompost, the story of organic gold: A review (2012, background): “Some studies have also reported that vermicompost contained growth promoting hormone “auxins”, “cytokinins” and flowering hormone “gibberellins” secreted by earth-worms [40,45, 46].”
- Efficacy of the Vermicomposts of Different Organic Wastes as “Clean” Fertilizers: State-of-the-Art (2018, background): “(5) VCs contain large and diverse microbial population, which produces plant growth regulators, enzymes, and hormones beneficial to the plant growth [77,109,110].”
- Effects of earthworm casts and compost on soil microbial activity and plant nutrient availability (2003, background): “The beneficial effect of EW has been observed in both horticultural plants (Tomati et al., 1987; Hidalgo, 1999; Saciragic and Dzelilovic, 1986) and in agronomic crops (Pashanasi et al.”
- The influence of humic acids derived from earthworm-processed organic wastes on plant growth. (2002, background): “…and there have been suggestions that the promotion of microbial activity in organic matter by earthworms would result in production of significant quantities of plant growth regulators (Tomati et al., 1983, 1988, 1990; Tomati and Galli, 1995; Krishnamoorthy and Vajranabhiah, 1986; Edwards, 1998).”

- Vermicompost as an effective organic fertilizer and biocontrol agent: effect on growth, yield and quality of plants (2015, background): “• Plant growth regulators and other plant growth influencing materials produced by microorganisms are also present in vermicompost (Tomati et al. 1988; Grappelli et al. 1987).”
- The wonders of earthworms & its vermicompost in farm production: Charles Darwin’s ‘friends of farmers’, with potential to replace destructive chemical fertilizers (2010, background): “Some studies have also reported that vermicompost contained growth promoting hormone ‘auxins’, ‘cytokinins’ and flowering hormone ‘gibberlins’ secreted by earthworms [16,47,48].”
- Changes in earthworm gut associated enzymes and microbial diversity on the treatment of fermented tannery waste using epigeic earthworm Eudrilus eugeniae (2015, background): “Tomati et al.
