Application of plant growth-promoting bacteria associated with composts and macrofauna for growth promotion of Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) (2006, background): “Composts and vermicomposts amendment to soil stimulates growth of plants through the nutrients present in them, microbial activity, and plant growth regulators (Arancon et al. 2004).”
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).”
Vermicompost as an effective organic fertilizer and biocontrol agent: effect on growth, yield and quality of plants (2015, background): “The efficiency of three types of vermicomposts prepared from paper waste, cattle manure and food waste on tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum), strawberry (Fragaria 9 ananassa) and field pepper (Capsicum) were studied by Arancon et al. (2003a, 2004, 2005a).”
Efficacy of the Vermicomposts of Different Organic Wastes as “Clean” Fertilizers: State-of-the-Art (2018, background): “[49] suggested that the enhanced plant growth in the VC amended media cannot be attributed entirely to the physical and chemical amelioration by the VC.”
