“…Además, con la aplicación de lombricomposta se mejora el enraizamiento de las plantas, la estructura del suelo, aireación, retención de agua y promueve la actividad microbiana (Zhao et al, 2017;Gupta et al, The increase in morphological parameters of bell pepper with B. subtilis and vermicompost may be due mainly to two factors. The f irst one would be the content of the organic manure in macro and micronutrients (Maji et al, 2017) and growth promoters, such as auxins, gibberellins, cytokins, fulvic and humic acids (Goswami et al, 2017;Ravindran et al, 2019), which are used by the plants as energy sources or in their cell division and elongation processes, among others (Hanc et al, 2019). Furthermore, the application of vermicompost improves plant rooting, aeriation, water retention, and promotes microbial activity (Zhao et al, 2017;Gupta et al, 2019), mainly that of the PGPB (Viti et al, 2010;Espinosa-Palomeque et al, 2017).…”
