| description | The paper studies the properties of vermicompost (biohumus) obtained by processing food waste with the Californian worm Eisenia andrei Bouche. Vermicomposting allows transforming human waste into a highly effective fertilizer. It is shown to be enriched with organic carbon, humic acids, nitrogen, and phosphorus. In order to determine the effectiveness of the fertilizer, a microplot field experiment was conducted with a test crop of arugula of the Poker variety, including a control (agro-gray soil) and a variant with vermicompost at a dose of 500 g / m2. The results of the experiment indicate a higher (by 1.5-2 times) seed germination energy, growth rate and development of the crop against the background of the use of vermicompost, which is expressed in the dynamics of biometric parameters (the width and length of leaf blades are 44-49% higher, the height of plants is 38% higher, compared to the control). The productivity of the test culture exceeded the control indicators by 80%. The value of the studied vermicompost determines the need to develop vermicomposting based on food waste, as one of the most promising areas in the field of solving problems of increasing soil fertility and recycling organic waste. |
