Vermicompost produced from ‘organic wastes’ are scientifically proving to be an ‘extraordinary powerful growth promoters and protectors’ for crops (5–7 times over other bulky organic fertilizers and 20–40% higher over chemical fertilizers). They are rich in NKP, micronutrients, beneficial soil microbes like ‘nitrogen-fixing’ and ‘phosphate solubilizing’ bacteria, ‘mycorrhizal fungi’, humus and growth hormones – auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins. It has very high ‘porosity’, ‘aeration’, ‘drainage’ and ‘water holding capacity’ and makes the soil soft & fertile. More significantly it also protect plants against various pests and diseases either by suppressing or repelling them or by inducing biological resistance in plants to fight them or by killing them by their beneficial microbes (chitin and cellulose degraders). ‘Vermiwash’ (liquid filtered from worm’s body) and the ‘vermicompost tea’ (fermented solution in water) also works as ‘powerful bio-pesticides’ eliminating the use of toxic chemical pesticides. Organically grown fruits & vegetables especially on ‘earthworms & vermicompost’ have been found to be highly nutritious, rich in ‘proteins, minerals & vitamins’ and ‘antioxidants’ than their chemically grown counterparts and can be highly beneficial for human health They have elevated antioxidants levels in about 85% of the cases studied. They have been found to be protective against several forms of ‘cancers’ and against ‘cardiovascular diseases’.
