Abstract

Vermicomposts are earthworm faeces after processing of different organic wastes. The composition is variable and dependent on the nature of the substrate. Several characteristics make vermicomposts interesting for agriculture (plant growth/health, soil health) such as their macronutrient content (N, P, K, organic matter) and specific components (humic acids, phytohormones, enzymes). This literature overview describes multiple researches on the effects of vermicompost in agriculture with a focus on macronutrient content and plant growth.
