“…Microbial populations such as mycorrhizal fungi require plant carbohydrates for metabolism and probably accumulate sugars from the roots, decreasing the sugar content of the plant. Because sugars are compatible osmolytes and regulate osmotic pressure in the roots that improves tolerance to water stress (Huerta et al 2010). In an experiment was investigated, application of vermicompost fertilizer increases CO 2 production in the soil surrounding a plant and increases microbial activity by contributing organic material to the soil (Marinari et al 2000).…”

“…Several studies have shown that water stress lowers CO 2 assimilation (Pagter et al 2005;Flexas and Medrano 2008;Armand et al 2016). Vermicompost with high porosity and high water maintain plays a key role in reducing the negative effects of water stress such as closure of the stomata and leaf CO 2 concenteration (Huerta et al 2010;Hosseinzadeh et al 2017). Decrease closure of the stomata and increases the supply of CO 2 necessary for Rubisco enzyme leads to increase in CO 2 assimilation (Flexas and Medrano 2008).…”

“…Vermicompost production is a method of converting organic waste into usable material in which species of earthworm (Eisenia fetida) are employed to stabilize organic waste (Atiyeh et al 2002). Some species of earthworms consume decaying organic material and are able to convert this material to nutrient-rich compounds that form an environment in the soil that supports plant growth (Huerta et al 2010). Vermicompost has a high porosity, high capacity of ventilation, good drainage and high water holding capacity (Atiyeh et al 2002).…”

“…Vermicompost has humic substances, which comes out from worm excrement and researchers believe that the hormone-like activities of humic substances play a role in increasing the yield and growth of plants (Bowden et al 2010). Several studies have shown that soil amended with organic matter lead to an increase in agricultural production, for the reason that increases absorption of nutrients, total enzymatic activity, cation exchange capacity and water hold (Lakhdar et al 2009;Huerta et al 2010).…”

“…Vermicompost application during seedling production resulted in increased plant growth, weight, leaf, and fruit production when compared with untreated plants (Brown et al, 1999). Vermicompost also enhanced plant height, weight, and number of leaves of piquin pepper when compared with earthworm (Pontoscolex corethrurus Muller) treatments or rhizobacteria (Aspergillus brasiliensis Varga, Frisvad and Samson) (Huerta et al, 2010).…”

Piquin pepper [Capsicum annuum L. var. glabriusculum (Dunal) Heiser and Pickergill] is a semidomesticated pepper with high commercial value and wide applications as fresh or processed products. Piquin pepper plants have been difficult to domesticate and cultivate because of low seed germination, genetic and morphologic variability, insect and disease susceptibility, and limited environmental physiology information. Currently, seed sterility is no longer considered a limiting factor as hormonal, chemical, and thermal treatments have been developed to overcome seed dormancy. In vitro propagation (primarily by direct organogenesis) is still not reliable for seedling production. Cropping systems of piquin pepper plants include traditional methods such as agroforestry and full sunlight, and under protected horticulture conditions, mainly shade nets. Shade levels and water availability affect yield and vegetative growth. Piquin pepper plants can be grown under diverse geographic and edaphic conditions. Nutrition and fertilization studies are limited. Biotic stresses that can cause economic damage to piquin pepper plants include most that affect other pepper cultivars. Piquin pepper is also considered an important genetic resource as it reports resistance to some viral groups, which could be used for genetic improvement of other cultivated peppers. Current research needs involve the development of dependable plant materials (cultivated varieties) with reduced labor needs, particularly during the harvest period. In addition, research is needed to reduce the susceptibility of piquin pepper plants to other plant diseases. This review presents an analysis of the aspects related to the production of piquin peppers under cultivated conditions.

The large, deep green, leaves of common borage are covered with white, stiff, prickly hairs, and occasionally the leaves of borage may be confused with the large, fussy, deep green leaves of foxglove. Misidentifi cation of foxglove for borage resulted in digitoxin poisoning after the patient ingested a brewed tea from the misidentifi ed foxglove leaves. 1 Physical Description: This hairy, annual herb grows up to 2 -3 ft ( ∼ 60 -90 cm) in height. The leaves are alternate, wrinkled, oval, and pointed with dimensions of about 1.5 by 3 in ( ∼ 4 cm by 8 cm). Bright blue to pink, star -shaped fl owers appear in loose racemes during the summer. Borage has a salty fl avor with an aroma of cucumbers. Distribution and Ecology: This plant inhabits wide areas of the west coast and the northern and northeastern states of the United States, as well as southern Europe. Although this plant is native to Syria, common borage has naturalized in the warmer parts of central, eastern, and western Europe. The common name, bee plant, is derived from the use of this plant as an attractant for honeybees.
