Testing of a fertilizing plant stimulator vermesfluid in potatoes

Abstract

The efficiencies of a natural fertilizer called Vermicompost and especially its leachate labelled as worm tea or Vermesfl uid are studied herein. Vermicompost is an organic fertilizer originating in the earthworms’ digestive systems. The substances and nutrients contained in the vermicompost are recovered in a liquid form and this leachate is used for crop-spraying. Within the research, the leachate was applied in field experiments to increase the yields of two potato varieties and the results were contrasted with the check samples. The data acquired in the course of the experiments point at the positive eff ects of the stimulator on the potato yields, especially in terms of higher total yields of tubers and yields of market size tubers.
