Compost and vermicompost as nursery pot components: effects on tomato plant growth and morphology (2009, background): “Opposite to Atiyeh et al. (2000) and Hashemimajd et al. (2004) where tomato plant growth was significantly increased after the addition of small doses of vermicompost to the potting media (up to 30%), in this study best results on plant growth and morphology were observed with the highest doses…”
Efficacy of the Vermicomposts of Different Organic Wastes as “Clean” Fertilizers: State-of-the-Art (2018, background): “(4) Elevated concentrations of heavy metals alongside the elevated salinity and nutrient contents may also be the cause of suppression of plant growth when excessive levels of VC are applied [17].”
Vermicompost as an effective organic fertilizer and biocontrol agent: effect on growth, yield and quality of plants (2015, background): “Early flowering and higher fruit yields on adding vermicompost may be due to better growth of plants on vermicompost additions (Brown 1995; Atiyeh et al. 2000b, 2001; Arancon et al. 2004, 2006; Singh et al. 2008).”
The influence of humic acids derived from earthworm-processed organic wastes on plant growth. (2002, background): “…of vermicompost-derived humic acids increased plant growth, and larger concentrations usually reduced growth, in a pattern similar to the plant growth responses observed after incorporation of vermicomposts into container media with all needed mineral nutrition (Atiyeh et al., 2000a).”
Foliar Spraying of Vermicornpost Extracts: Effects on Fruit Quality and Indications of Late-Blight Suppression of Field-Grown Tomatoes (2006, background): “However, there is ample evidence that vermicompost added to horticultural container mixtures stimulates growth and fruit quality of a variety of crop species, including tomatoes (Siminis et al., 1998; Atiyeh et al., 2000; Arancon et al., 2003; Zaller, 2006).”
Use and understanding of organic amendments in Australian agriculture: a review (2011, neutral): “This natural process has been commercially adapted to produce OA from municipal and industrial wastes (Campitelli and Ceppi 2008), as well as from animal manures and plant biomass (Atiyeh et al. 2000; Singh and Sharma 2002; Arancon et al. 2006; Padmavathiamma et al. 2008).”
Effects of vermicomposts on growth and marketable fruits of field-grown tomatoes, peppers and strawberriesThe 7th international symposium on earthworm ecology · Cardiff · Wales · 2002 (2003, background): “Substitution of a range of vermicomposts, produced from cattle manure, pig manure, food wastes, into a commercial soil-less bedding plant growth medium (Metro-Mix 360) in greenhouse experiments, increased the rates of germination, growth and yields of ornamentals, tomatoes and peppers even when all ”
