The increase growth and yields of peppers in the field confirm our greenhouse experiment on the positive effects of Vermicomposting and traditional compost on the plant growth and yield. Increased growth and yield of peppers in the field were attributable to a number of positive effects of applications of Vermicompost in field soils.
