“…Chlorophyll-b was 1.336 mg/gm under controlled condition (T 1 ) (soil without vermicompost) at the pre flowering stage, which increased up to 2.110 mg/gm at the vermicompost level of T 6 . At the peak flowering stage under controlled condition (T 1 ) Chlorophyll-b was 2.023 mg/gm which increased up to 3.592 mg/gm at the vermicompost level of T 6 . Similarly Chlorophyll-b was estimated 1.823 mg/gm at the post flowering stage under controlled condition (T 1 ) which increased up to 3.238 mg/gm at the vermicompost level of T 6 .…”

“…Compared to controlled condition (T 1 ) (soil without vermicompost) the growth of plant was better in the levels in which vermicompost was added. With the increase in amount of vermicompost the growth was found to be encouraging upto T 6 . The results revealed that there is a need to shift from use of chemical fertilizers to organic farming by using vermicompost.…”

“…Similarly Chlorophyll-a was estimated 2.791 mg/gm at the post flowering stage under controlled condition (T 1 ) which increased up to 5.218 mg/gm at the vermicompost level of T 6 . Chlorophyll-b was 1.336 mg/gm under controlled condition (T 1 ) (soil without vermicompost) at the pre flowering stage, which increased up to 2.110 mg/gm at the vermicompost level of T 6 .

“…At the peak flowering stage under controlled condition (T 1 ) total chlorophyll was 5.210 mg/gm which increased up to 9.466 mg/gm at the vermicompost level of T 6 . Similarly total chlorophyll was estimated 4.614 mg/gm at the post flowering stage under controlled condition (T 1 ) which increased up to 8.454 mg/gm at the vermicompost level of T 6 .…”

“…Vermicomposting involves the bio-oxidation and stabilization of organic material by the joint action of earth worms and microorganisms. Although it is a microorganism, that biochemically degrade the organic matter, they are the crucial drivers of the process, as they aerate and fragment the substrate there by drastically altering the microbial activity and further decomposition [6]. Field experiments were carried out in the farmer's field located in Bambala, Tehsil-Sanganer, Jaipur for conducting field experiments for the test plant species Bengal gram (Cicer arietinum L.) var.…”

Mechanical properties of the horticultural products play an important role in improving the products quality and storage life after harvesting and also reducing product waste. Recently, using organic fertilizers has increasing trend for producing high‐quality products as well as improvement of soil quality. Two of the best options to produce organic material and sustainability of agricultural production are vermicompost and sheep manure. The present study relied on determination of mechanical properties through pressure and shear tests. Vermicompost and sheep manure were used separately to fertilize the soil. After planting tomato seeds and harvesting, tomato fruits were analyzed by a universal test machine. The results showed that vermicompost was a better fertilizer than sheep manure due to its more appropriate carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N), acidity, and salinity. Also, in the pressure test, the maximum force required for bruise of tomato produced with vermicompost (41.5N) was more than that of control sample (no fertilizer) and sheep manure. In the shearing test, the maximum force required for shearing tomato produced with vermicompost (58.60 N) was lower than that of control sample (no fertilizer) and sheep manure. The findings of this study can be used to reduce the amount of waste at different stages of tomato production and supply including the design and optimization of processing and transportation equipment.
