Abstract:
The growth and production of Capsicum annuum are examined in this review in
relation to the impacts of vermicompost and conventional fertilizers. Vermicompost enhances
soil structure, soil nutrient availability and soil microbial health, resulting in improved plant
growth and productivity. In contrast, conventional fertilizers, while providing immediate
nutrients, can degrade soil quality and pose environmental risks. Findings indicate that
vermicompost promotes better growth parameters, higher fruit yield, and improved nutritional
quality. The review underscores the potential of vermicomposting as a sustainable alternative to
conventional methods, encouraging further research and adoption in agricultural practices.
