Abstract

Intensive use of agro-chemicals has resulted in a tremendous public concern over the safety of natural resources that have ventured both human health and environmental quality, decreased soil quality and increased pathogen resistance. All these motivated scientists and decision makers to develop sustainable agricultural production systems which target use of organic products effective both as fertilizers and pesticides. In this respect, use of aerobic compost and vermicomposting products, improving soils in all respects, has gained a great deal of importance. Furthermore, application of vermicomposting methods as a sound, economical, and sustainable way of managing a wide diversity of organic wastes yield a valuable product called “vermicast”, which proved to be even better in respect to nutritional value, promoting plant growth, and potential disease suppression effect, suggested to have a biological nature, on damping off pathogens. Vermitecomposting ensures a low-input agricultural production system which is so vital for those of small or middle scale producers and could also compensate the decrease in yield at the beginning of transaction from traditional to organic production system. Vermicomposting technologies maintain an environmentally sound, highly economical means of sustainable agricultural production model that assures the safety of human and animal feed stock.

Özet

Hem insan sağlığını hem de çevre güvenliğini riske atan, toprak kalitesini düşüren, patojen dayanıklılığını arttıran yoğun agro-kimyasal kullanımı doğal kaynakların güvenliği konusunda oldukça ciddi endişelere sebep olmuştur. Tüm bunlar, bilim adamlarını ve karar vericileri, biyolojik gübre ve pestisit olarak etkili organik ürünler kullanımını hedefleyen sürdürülebilir tarımsal üretim sistemlerinin geliştirilmesine yöneltmiştir. Bu alanda, her bakımdan toprak kalitesini arttıran aerobik kompost ve vermikompost ürünleri çok büyük önem kazanmıştır. Çeşitli organik çöplerin değerlendirilmesinde güvenilir, ekonomik ve sürdürülebilir bir yöntem olan vermikompost yöntemleri, bitki büyümesini teşvik edici, bitki besleme ve çürüklük etmenleri üzerinde biyolojik olduğu düşünülen baskılama etkisine sahip olan “vermikest” adı verilen ürünlerin elde edilmesini sağlarlar. Vermikompost küçük veya orta ölçekli tarım üreticileri için çok önemli olan düşük girdili üretim sistemini mümkün kılar ve gelenekselden organik tarıma geçişte başta gözlemlenen ürün düşüşünü telafi edebilir. Vermikompost teknikleri, insan ve hayvanlarda besin güvenliğini temin eden, çevre sağlığı bakımından güvenilir ve yüksek ekonomik değere sahip sürdürülebilir tarımsal üretim modelini destekler.
