Farmers use chemical fertilizers i.e. manure on a large scale. Farmers will be happy to know that crop production can be increased by using vermiwash. Vermiwash is a type of fertilizer and thousands of farmers are using it. It is being used as an alternative to chemical fertilizers. It is also called earthworm manure. The good thing is that farmers can prepare it at low cost. With its use, farmers can produce quality produce.
According to experts, farmers can also use vermiwash as a natural antiseptic and bio-pesticide to prevent various diseases and pests in crops and vegetables. Scientists claim that its use increases production by 10-15 percent. This does not have any side effect on the yield. Fellow farmers benefit.
Vermiwash is a liquid organic fertilizer. It contains hormones, nutrients and enzymes secreted by earthworms. In this, the anti-disease properties and nutrients are present in soluble form and are easily available to the plants. Soluble nitrogen, phosphorus and potash are the main nutrients in it. Hormones like oxygen and cytokinin, vitamins, amino acids and various enzymes like protease, amylase, urease and phosphatase are also found in it. In such a situation, according to scientists, this is a very useful fertilizer.
Its use results in good growth of the plant. The cost of water reduces and farming is better. This keeps the environment healthy. The fertility of the land increases significantly at low cost. With its use, less plant protection drugs are required, thereby reducing production costs.
Using Vermiwash: The method of using vermiwash is very easy. One liter of vermiwash should be mixed with 7-10 liters of water and sprayed on the leaves in the evening. Mix one liter of vermiwash and one liter of cow urine well in 10 liters of water and leave it overnight. Spray 50-60 liters of such vermiwash in one hectare area to prevent various diseases in crops. Foliar spraying is done for early flowering and fruiting of summer vegetables, which increases production.
