Spraying treatment with VCT three times, with an interval of two weeks between spraying and the next, with half the amount of mineral fertilizer, in addition to a treatment without fertilization was considered as a control. The experiment was designed according to randomized complete block design (RCBD), with three replicates. The results showed that the VC treatment of 8 tons.ha<sup>-1<\/sup> was superior to all the treatments studied, as this treatment achieved the best growth indicators (plant height, leaf area, and crop growth rate), and also achieved the best yield indicators (number of spikes, number of grains per plant, grain yield, and percentage protein in grains), The VC treatment 6 tons.ha<sup>-1<\/sup>\u00a0 achieved values similar to the 100% mineral fertilization treatment in grain yield, but superior to it in protein percentage. The treatment of spraying with VCT and the 50% mineral fertilization treatment also achieved significant differences over the 100% mineral fertilization treatment in the grain yield and protein percentage in grains. Thus, the research concluded that it is possible to replace mineral fertilization at a rate of 6 tons.ha<sup>-1<\/sup>\u00a0 VC to rationalize the use of mineral fertilizers and 8 tons.ha<sup>-1<\/sup>\u00a0 to increase grain yield. Half the number of mineral fertilizers can be dispensed with in exchange for three sprays of VCT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Vermicompost, Vermicompost tea, Growth, Yield, Durum wheat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v12n5p27.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fadi Abbas*(1), Salwa Saadia(2), Hassan Al-Shbat (2), and Fuad Wassouf(2) (1).
