Abstract

This research was carried out in the Shebaa area in the Damascus Countryside Governorate for the year (2023), with the aim of studying the effect of vermicompost on some chemical and fertility soil properties and comparing it with fermented cow dung fertilizer and mineral fertilizer and the productivity of the eggplant. The design of the full random sectors was adopted with 4 transactions and 3 replicates, and the studied fertilizer transactions were added according to the agricultural recommendation of the Ministry of Agriculture for summer vegetables after soil analysis. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the acidity of the soil among all the studied treatments, and the results showed an increase in the soil content of total nitrogen in a clear way in all fertilizer treatments compared to the witness, and the superiority of Vermicompost over the rest of the transactions. With clear differences, it reached (0.07), as for the available potassium and phosphorous, the results appear to be clearly superior to the cow dung manure over the witness, and with non-clear differences with the rest of the fertilizer transactions, while the increase was not clear in the Soil content of potassium and phosphorous available for vermicompost and metal treatments compared to the witness, and all treatments were clearly superior to the witness in productivity. The results also showed significant differences in compost coefficients among themselves, and productivity was in the order of mineral fertilizers, followed by vermicompost, and then fermented dung manure.

Keywords: Vermicompost, mineral fertilizer, fermented cow dung manure, chemical properties, eggplant productivity.
