Worm compost fertilizer's hidden microbes help young corn grow

OpenAlex · 2026-10-22

Scientists analyzed the microbial communities living inside a worm-compost-based fertilizer capsule and linked specific bacteria and fungi to healthier early growth in maize seedlings. The data shows which organisms make vermicompost such an effective, natural plant booster.

1

Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was used to produce detailed taxonomic profiles and relative abundance tables for the microbial community in a vermicompost-based biocapsulated fertilizer.

2

The dataset includes microbial community charts for sample 'VC', representing the vermicompost capsule's bacterial and fungal makeup.

3

The microbiological characterization was directly tied to observed early-stage maize growth outcomes in the associated study.
