he overall amounts of the major elements such as N and P in the vermicompost-amended soils appeared to be similar to those in soils treated with inorganic fertilizers only, throughout the growth cycle of strawberries, except for isolated cases where orthophosphates occured at higher levels in vermicompost-amended soils.
