“…Drilosphere is the region of soil influenced by burrowing, secretion, and casts of earthworms applied to support the growth of plenty decomposer bacterias ( Ojha and Devkota, 2014 ). Vermiwash comprises decomposer bacteria, fungi, secretion, and mucous of earthworm, which could help in disease suppression and production of metabolites that prevent growth of pathogenic bacteria and different plant pests ( Dowling and O'Gara, 1994 ; Nadana et al, 2020 ; Sulaiman and Mohamad, 2020 ).…”

“…The microbial metabolite contains bioavailable nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, potassium, phosphorous, and many other micronutrients that resulted from decomposition of organic matter. Mucus, skin secretion, and coelomic fluid create an ideal condition for the growth of these microbes ( Tripathi et al, 2005 ; Nadana et al, 2020 ). The gut of earthworm serves as a microhabitat for survival of different microbes including actinomycetes.…”

“…The composition of vermicompost and vermiwash prepared from the same organic matter are essentially the same. It comprises numerous chemicals viz, hormone, mucous, enzyme, vitamins, proteins, different macro and micronutrients, and a large number of microbes that distinguishes the two products ( Das et al, 2014 ; Tripathi et al, 2005 ; Nadana et al, 2020 ). Besides its application as a fertilizer to enhance crop productivity, it can also be applied in disease suppression and pest control due to the presence of essential antimicrobial and anti pest chemicals ( Kanchan et al, 2013 ; Thakur and Sood, 2019 ; Nadana et al, 2020 ).…”

“… Thakur and Sood (2019) reported vermiwash efficiently inhibited the growth of eggs of plant-eating red spider mite (Tetranychus urticae), which showed that it could be applied in the agricultural field as an insecticide for controlling red spider mite infestation. The repellant effect of vermiwash attributed to the presence of mucus in it ( Nadana et al, 2020 ). In earthworms, coelomic fluid secreted through dorsal pores in the form of mucus as a mechanism of defense when irritated and reported to possess insecticidal, antifungal, and pesticidal bioactive compound ( Nadana et al, 2020 ).…”

Vermiwash is a liquid extract produced from vermicompost in a medium where earthworms are richly populated. It comprises a massive decomposer bacteria count, mucus, vitamins, different bioavailable minerals, hormones, enzymes, different antimicrobial peptides, etc. This paper aimed to assess how these natural products in vermiwash suppressed the pathogen and pests. Thus, we have reviewed the importance of vermiwash/vermicompost in disease control, the mechanism of disease suppression, the components of vermiwash applied in disease suppression, and pest control to use the scientific facts in agriculture to enhance the productivity of the crops. The bioactive macromolecules from the skin secretion of earthworm, coelomic fluid, and mucus directly able to defend pathogenic soil microbes against the worm and thereby freed the environment from the disease. Earthworms establish symbiotic relations with microbes, produce an essential product that supports the growth of plants, and suppress plant's root disease. It is recomended that earthworm should be inoculated in an agricultural field, or prepare and apply its vermiwash/vermicompost as a spray or as additive bio-fertilizer in the soil to enhance the productivities of the crops.

Common bacterial blight (CBB) is an economically important disease that results in quantitative and qualitative yield reductions across the world. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the integration of host resistance, vermicompost (VC) seed soaking, and bactericide foliar application against CBB development, nodulation, and agronomic performances of common bean varieties in southern Ethiopia in 2021 and 2022. Two bean varieties (Remeda [moderately resistant] and Awash‐01 [susceptible]), VC (soaking and non‐soaking), and bactericide spraying (unsprayed, 7‐, 14‐, and 21‐day intervals) were regarded as treatments and factorially arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The combined analysis of variance over years revealed significant (p < 0.05) variations in disease severity, area under disease progress curve (AUDPC), nodule, and agronomic parameters between varieties, VC, bactericide spray intervals, and the interaction of the three factors. Seed soaking with VC and three times foliar bactericide application at the 7‐day interval recorded the lowest terminal disease severity (21.30%) and AUDPC (791.67%‐days) and the highest grain yield (4128.80 kg ha−1), nodule, and other agronomic traits for the variety Remeda over the other treatments. Moreover, the same treatment also obtained the highest net benefit of $2729.88 ha−1 and marginal rate of return of 15.94 over untreated plots of the variety Remeda. Similar trends were observed for the variety Awash‐01. Therefore, the findings indicate that the integration of VC seed soaking, thrice application of bactericide at the 7‐day interval along with the variety Remeda can be employed to curtail the effects of CBB and optimize nodulation and agronomic performances of the crop and is recommended for growers in the study areas.

Indiscriminate use of chemicals is the main cause of reduction in crop yield as well as certain serious diseases. There is an increased demand of organic substitutes which can be met by production of technology that involves the use of organic and environment friendly fertilizers. Vermicompost and vermiwash are suitable substitute for chemical fertilizer. In vermicomposting, organic matter is exposed to bacteria and enzymes of earthworm gut that alter the nutritive constituents and provide the unique consistency and property to vermicompost, also the derived leachate is vermiwash. Chemically they consist of mucous, proteins, hormones, enzymes, macronutrients, micronutrients and several microorganisms. Vermicompost and vermiwash hold immense potential for sustainable crop production by the application as fertilizer, biopesticide and disease control, food security, enhancing salinity tolerance as well as in allied fields. This technology is also undergoing advancements with the progression of science and technology. This review focusses on the approaches for preparing vermicompost and vermiwash, applications in the field of sustainable crop production and others as well as advancements in this technology.This article is protected by copyright.
