he influence of compost and sulfur on the growth, yield and chemical components of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) was investigated during 2021 and 2022 in Ras Sudr Region, South Sinai Governorate, Egypt. Compost (0, 10 and 20 m 3 fed -1 ) and sulfur (0, 350 and 700 kg fed -1 ) were used. The compost and sulfur were applied as soil additions either alone or in combination, and the following data were recorded: vine height, number of branches, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, yield per plant, yield per square meter, plant content of N, P, K, and S, as well as phytochemical investigations, and qualitative and quantitative chromatographic investigations of flavonoids and phenolic compounds. The results indicated that, all the growth and yield characteristics were superior for the combined compost at 20 m 3 fed -1 and sulfur at 700 kg fed -1 . The combination of compost and sulfur addition significantly enhanced the nutrient element contents (N, P, K, and S). Phytochemical investigations of the plant powder treatments and the crude extract that had the best treatment response to compost and sulfur (20 m 3 fed -1 × 700 kg fed -1 ) showed high concentrations of all the chemical constituents. The concentrations of gallic acid, syrengenic acid, genestic acid, myrictine, catechein and quercetin-3-O-glucoside were better investigated using HPLC. The treatment with a combination of compost at 20 m 3 fed -1 and sulfur at 700 kg fed -1 gave the best results for maximizing the growth and yield of bitter gourd.

“…Both traditional compost and vermicompost significantly increased the activities of C-cycling enzymes (AG and BG) and P-cycling enzymes (AcP and AIP), this may be attributed to higher substrate and energy source. Several previous studies pointed out that exogenous nutrients generally increase the activities of hydrolytic enzymes (Carreiro et al, 2000;Chen et al, 2018;Keeler et al, 2009), because nutrient addition promotes the growth and nutrient demand of fast-growing soil microbes (Jia et al, 2020;Li, Nie, et al, 2019;Li, Wan, et al, 2019). Pearson correlation analysis results also showed that, compared to N-cycling enzyme (NAG), C-cycling enzymes and P-cycling enzymes were more closely related to soil properties (Figure 5).…”

“…Many researches paid attention on response of crop to vermicompost application (Carnimeo et al, 2022; López et al, 2021; Yu et al, 2022). The promoting effect of vermicompost application on crops is partly due to keeping humus organic matter and mineral nutrients, as well as containing amino acids, indoleacetic acid, digestive enzymes, numerous and diverse microorganisms, disease‐resistant strains, and other beneficial substances (Wang et al, 2018).…”

The utilization of agricultural waste organic materials through composting technology has gained significant traction in agricultural production as an effective means of crop nutrient management. However, the differences in the impact of organic amendments prepared by traditional composting and vermicomposting on soil properties still deserve further research. Based on field experiments conducted in greenhouse, compared to chemical fertilizer treatments as control, we utilized traditional compost (OF) and vermicompost (VcF) derived from agricultural organic waste edible mushroom bran and cow manure (2:8). Variations in soil physiochemical properties, activities of soil enzymes related C and P cycling, abundances and diversities of bacterial 16S rRNA and fungal ITS gene at total DNA level were analyzed. Both compost treatments enhanced soil organic carbon, soil total phosphorus, and soil available P content significantly and also increased the activities of soil α‐glucosidase, β‐glucosidase, acid phosphomonoesterase, and alkaline phosphomonoesterase significantly. The above results suggested that soil C and P transformations were stimulated effectively by both organic amendments. OF and VcF increased the fungal ITS absolute abundances significantly while diversity indices of soil bacterial community increased significantly under both treatments. Correlation analysis indicated that bacterial community composition was strongly correlated with several soil property indexes while fungal community composition was only significantly correlated with soil total phosphorous content. In conclusion, similar to traditional compost, vermicompost significantly improved soil nutrient cycling (especially C and P aspects). In terms of soil microbes, bacteria and fungi showed different responding mechanism to vermicompost: bacteria adjust microbial structure, while fungi tend to proliferated. In consideration of the advantages of vermicompost in technology and economic cost, it could be applied in the subsequent agricultural production more frequently.

“…Based on the work of Carnimeo et al (2022), the use of mixed compost and vermicompost can be effective and sustainable both economically and environmentally, as it (40) stimulates plant growth, and it could represent a successful strategy to mitigate the presence of toxic residues in food plants.…”
