Optimized Potting Media and Vertical Farming Enhance High‐Value Crop Productivity in Riverine Lands of Bangladesh

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Limited cultivable land and seasonal flooding constrain vegetable production in the riverine char lands of Bangladesh, highlighting the need for efficient and climate‐resilient production systems. This study evaluated optimized potting media for seedling production and the vertical cultivation of high‐value vegetables, particularly capsicum ...

Evaluation of photosynthesis, physiological, and biochemical responses of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L. cv. Pirouz) under water deficit stress and use of vermicompost fertilizer

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2018
One goal in the face of drought stress conditions is to increase growth and yield through the reduction of negative effects of stress. Vermicompost can play an effective role in plant growth and development and in reducing harmful effects of various ...

Simulating long‐term soil carbon sequestration and wheat productivity under biochar amendments in saline‐irrigated sandy soils

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Improving carbon sequestration in sandy soils under saline irrigation is essential for sustaining agricultural productivity in marginal environments. This study addressed two key questions: (i) can biochar, alone or combined with organic amendments, enhance soil carbon storage and fertility under saline irrigated?

Soil Quality Engineering Using Vermicompost and its Effect on the Corn (Zea mays L.) Production in Coastal Area

Journal of Tropical Soils, 2020
The low quality of Entisol is caused by low availability of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium as well as low soil pH, so the addition of vermicompost is necessary.

Compost Politics: Experimenting with Togetherness in Vermicomposting [PDF]

Environmental Humanities, 2014
AbstractEmerging from the question of how to live together with our planet, more-than-human approaches to interspecies relations have often presented ‘cozy’ versions of conviviality (Whatmore 2002; Haraway 2008; Hinchliffe 2010). This was usually set against a (supposedly) exclusionary politics of nature, in a move that betrayed a still largely ...

Effect of integrated inorganic and organic fertilizer on yield and yield components of maize at Bako Agricultural Research Center in Western Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the combined application of vermicompost and NPS fertilizer on maize (Zea mays L.) yield and yield components under low soil fertility conditions in western Ethiopia. A field experiment was conducted at Bako Agricultural Research Center using a randomized complete block design with three replications.

Vermicompost for Sustainable Agriculture and Bioconversion of Terrestrial Weed Biomass into Vermicompost

, 2022
Organic fertilizers are alternative to chemicals used in agriculture which enhance soil quality, prevent harmful chemicals entering into food chain, improve health and contribute to sustainable future socially, economically and ecologically. Vermicompost is a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer which promotes plant growth and improves soil quality ...

Effects of Compost Application on Growth, Gas Exchange, and Green Yield of Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] Varieties

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cowpea is an important dual‐purpose legume cultivated for its leaves, fresh pods, and grains, yet productivity in Ethiopia remains low due to poor‐yielding varieties and nutrient‐deficient soils. This study evaluated the effects of compost application on growth, physiological performance, and yield of two cowpea varieties (Bole and Kenkety ...
