“…Although above‐ground fresh and dry weights were higher under Osmocote fertilisation compared with vermicompost fertilisation, the effect of vermicompost tea was most pronounced under vermicompost fertilisation. Soluble mineral nutrients and microbial by‐products in vermicompost tea can enhance nutrient uptake from the soil and increase foliar uptake of nutrients 4, 32. Nutrient analysis indicated that vermicompost tea supplied a considerable amount of soluble mineral nutrients to plants compared with the control (Tables 4 and 5).…”

Vermicompost extracts influence growth, mineral nutrients, phytonutrients and antioxidant activity in pak choi (Brassica rapa cv. Bonsai, Chinensis group) grown under vermicompost and chemical fertiliser

BACKGROUND: Multiple studies have been reported on the effect of compost tea on suppression of certain plant diseases. However, relatively little work has been done to investigate the effect of vermicompost tea on yield and nutritional quality of vegetable crops. In this study, experiments were conducted to determine the effect of extraction method on vermicompost tea quality and subsequent effects on growth, mineral nutrients, phytonutrients and antioxidant activity of pak choi plants grown under organic (vermicompost) and synthetic (Osmocote) fertilisation. Three vermicompost teas obtained by different extraction methods, namely non-aerated vermicompost tea (NCT), aerated vermicompost tea (ACT) and aerated vermicompost tea augmented with microbial enhancer (ACTME), were applied to the plants. Aerated water served as control.

“…4), probably due to maintenance of the physiological balance (Martin and Botton, 1993;Smith and Read, 2008). Xu et al (2008) found that maize stomata of nonwatered plants treated by EM respond more quickly and efficiently in comparison to plants well-watered and without EM. This can be an indirect beneficial of microorganisms on production of some phytohormones, and enhance of growth, development and further plant response efficiency to stress factors.…”

Geranium plants were cultivated in a growth chamber with different light quality and microorganism inoculation conditions. The long-term effect of irradiance quality (LED and fluorescent) as well as two types of microorganism treatments on photosynthetic activity parameters was examined. The maximum reached values of net photosynthesis rate (P N ), stomatal conductance (g s ), transpiration rate (E) and intercellular CO 2 concentration (C i ) were afterwards measured in plants cultivated under six colours of light -white, white-blue, blue, red, red-blue and green -emitted by two types of lamp: LED and fluorescent. Two types of microorganism treatments were used: BAF 1 created in the Department of General and Environmental Microbiology and the commonly used Effective Microorganisms (EM) biopreparation. A highest level of P N were found in plants after cultivation under white-blue light (both -fluorescent and LED) and treated by BAF 1 . The positive effect of EM was only noted in the case of plants cultivated under blue-red fluorescent light. Considering plants without microbial inoculation the highest levels were recorded in plants under red and blue light. The comparison of the effect of light quality revealed that in all colours a higher or similar level of net photosynthetic rate was noted in plants under LEDs. Mostly the higher photosynthetic activity was connected with higher stomatal opening as well as with higher transpiration rate, which is especially true for plants cultivated under red and blue LED light.

“…Available soluble mineral nutrients and microbial secondary products in vermicompost tea may balance nutrients simplified for plants, improve nutrient uptake from the soil, and promote foliar uptake of nutrients. (Xu et al, 2001, Ingham, 2005and Najafabadi, 2014. According to the results of previous studies, vermicompost tea favorably improved plant growth and the concentration of minerals in plants (Sanwal et al, 2006;Hargreaves et al, 2008).…”

The application spray of some organic extracts considers a suitable nutrient supplement to the utilization of chemical fertilizers. So, it needs to more study led to obtain the great quantitative and qualitative characteristics of vegetative crops. An experimental study was conducted at the Central Laboratory of Agricultural Climate (CLAC), Agricultural Research Center, Dokki, Egypt. Celery plants were planted into a net house during the two successive winter seasons of 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. This studied the effect of foliar application of poultry manure tea, vermicompost tea, and algae extract on the vegetative growth, productivity, and quality of celery plants. The trial design was a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. Nine treatments of organic extracts as spray were applied using two concentrations (10, 20 ml/l) for (algae extract, poultry manure tea, and vermicompost tea) and with additional 5ml/l molasses for (poultry manure tea and vermicompost tea) compared with control (water spray). A mixture of poultry manure tea at 20 ml/l + 5ml/l molasses recorded the best parameters of vegetative growth, yield, chemical and quality characteristics followed by a mixture of vermicompost tea at 20 ml/l + 5ml/l molasses with no significant differences between them. Conversely, the least parameters of vegetative growth, yield, chemical, and quality characteristics were obtained by spraying water (control) in both seasons.
