Vermicomposted tannery wastes in the organic cultivation of sweet pepper: growth,nutritive value and production

摘要

In this study,vermicomposted tannery wastes were applied in the organic cultivation of sweet pepper in a greenhouse.The effects of this organic matter addition on plant development was assessed.In a greenhouse,plants were cultivated adding vermicomposted tannery to the substrate(sample VRC)and the results were compared with the samples control(dYL;only soil)and reference(NPK;adding mineral fertilizer).The growth,nutritive value and fruit production were assessed to evaluate the plant development in different types of substrate.The vermicompost addition was biostimulating to the plants,influencing development positively,in addition to increasing fruit production.When the vermicompost were applied,up to 3 harvested sweet peppers were obtained per plant,compared with only 1 fruit for the reference treatment with NPK addition.
