Abstract

This study was conducted in National Pingtung University of Science and Technology during winter season to determine the effect of vermicompost on productivity of muskmelon seedling (Cucumis melo L.). Vermicompost produced from rice waste, were mixed at rate of different concentration into rice hulls ash and coconut husk. The pH, electrolytic conductivity (EC), water holding capacity (WHC), concentration of macro-micronutrient in substrates, vegetative growth, plant biomass, concentration of total macro-micronutrient in shoot were recorded. The result showed that using substrate that mixture of vermicompost with rice hulls ash and coconut husk following rate 1:1:1 respectively gave highest value of germination rate, plant height, leaf area, plant biomass and the concentration of P, K, Ca and Fe. Factors contributed to the in increasing of muskmelon seedling growth may be result of an improvement of physical and chemical properties of the substrate when combination between vermicompost, rice hull ash and coconut husk.

蚯蚓堆肥作为基质重要成分对甜瓜幼苗品质和生长的影响

本试验于冬季在屏东科技大学进行，旨在研究蚯蚓堆肥对甜瓜幼苗产量的影响。以稻壳、稻灰、椰壳为原料，以不同的浓度混合蚯蚓堆肥。记录pH、电解电导率、持水量、基质中宏微量元素浓度、营养生长、植物生物量、地上部总宏微量元素浓度。结果表明，蚯蚓堆肥与稻壳灰和椰子壳配比为1:1:1时，发芽率、株高、叶面积、植物生物量和磷、钾、钙、铁浓度最高。蚯蚓堆肥与稻壳灰、椰壳复合后，基材的理化性质得到改善，是促进甜瓜幼苗生长的重要因素。
