Description
Résumé:The article shows the prospects of using the technology of vermicomposting for the biological re-cultivation of disturbed mining areas. The valuable properties of vermicompost as a component of soil-substituting mixtures for use in the re-cultivation of disturbed areas are considered. The expediency of using plant waste for the preparation of soil-substituting substrates is shown. The presence of special agrochemical properties of vermicompost obtained during the processing of plant waste (leaf litter) by the Eisenia fetida Savigny culture is experimentally established. The pH values and the content of calcium ions in the vermicompost based on poplar leaf litter were significantly higher than in the vermicompost based on horse manure – 7.61 vs. 6.98 and 112.3 vs. 83 mg-eq. / kg, respectively. Germination of wheat seeds on extracts from vermicompost obtained from poplar litter led to a statistically significant increase in the mass of the formed roots compared to seeds germinated on tap water.
