Vermicompost and Rhizobacteria in Organic Agriculture: A Review of their Impacts on Plant Growth and Soil Health

Abstract

One of the consequences of climate change is a decline in land productivity, which leads to a decrease in agricultural output. The usage of inorganic fertilizers will result in a greater reduction in land quality. Vermicompost fertilizers and plant growth promoting rhizo-bacteria’s (PGPR) are two other answers to these issues. These manures include organically bonded micro and macroelements that impact growth and development of plants, as well as soil sustainability. The favorable consequences of PGPR on soil and crop were improved by vermicompost, with the level of promotion dependent on vermicompost dosage and crop type. PGPR dramatically decreased soil carbon and nitrogen while increasing the soil’s microbe-biomass nitrogen and carbon in the presence of vermicompost. Vermicomposting is a low-tech, ecologically benign method of treating organic waste. Application of vermicompost with PGPR in an effort to mitigate climate change by promoting crop growth and production. This study, which also serves as a review, will show how PGPR and vermicompost can be utilized to promote sustainable agricultural while reducing the usage of synthetic manure and the role of vermicomposting in salt conditions and their effects on plants. The major goal of this review is to give information on the earthworm-microbe-soil-vermicompost interaction dynamics.
