The application of vermicompost on Kyuri crop production

The large number of kitchen waste can be use as fertilizer by vermicomposting. Vermicompost is the end-product of non-thermophilic decomposition of organic material by certain species of earthworms and their associated microbes. Vermicompost also contain rich nutrients and could conditioning the soil. The aim of the research was to obtain the effect of vermicompost on Kyuri cucumber crop production. The dosage of vermicompost was 0 t ha−1 (K0), 5 t ha−1 (K1), 10 t ha−1(K2), and 15 t ha−1 (K3). Plant height with 15 t ha−1 in 4 weeks after plating was the highest plant. The parameters fresh weight fruits and shoot root ration also affected by the dosage 15 t ha−1. Overall the result indicated the potential of vermicompost in increasing kyuri cucumber crop production.
