Humic substances from vermicompost enhance urban lettuce production (2014, unknown): “…application brings benefits to the production of crops such as olives, wheat, tomato, papaya, maize, creeping bentgrass, etc. (Femández-Escobar et al. 1996; Cooper et al. 1998; Delfine et al. 2005; Zaller 2006; Yildirim 2007; Karakurt et al. 2009; Cavalcante et al. 2011; Canellas et al. 2013).”
Vermicompost as an effective organic fertilizer and biocontrol agent: effect on growth, yield and quality of plants (2015, methodology): “When extracts of vermicompost were used as foliar sprays for three varieties of field grown tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum), there was indication that foliar vermicompost sprays could suppress the late blight disease (Zaller 2006).”
Vermicompost treatment differentially affects seed germination, seedling growth and physiological status of vegetable crop species (2011, background): “The beneficial effects include but are not limited to stimulation of seed germination (Atiyeh et al. 2000; Arancon et al. 2007a; Lazcano et al. 2010), activation of growth (Lazcano et al. 2009; Uma and Malathi 2009), protection against pathogens (Singh et al. 2003; Rivera et al. 2004; Zaller 2006 )”
