Vermicompost extracts influence growth, mineral nutrients, phytonutrients and antioxidant activity in pak choi (Brassica rapa cv. Bonsai, Chinensis group) grown under vermicompost and chemical fertiliser.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of vermicompost tea on crop growth is largely attributed to mineral nutrient uptake by plants, and this effect was most prominent under organic fertilisation and synthetic fertilisation.

Vermiculture Technology : Earthworms, Organic Wastes, and Environmental Management
TL;DR: Co-edited by international earthworm expert Clive A. Edwards, Vermiculture Technology: Earthworms, Organic Wastes, and Environmental Management is the first international, comprehensive, and definitive work on how earthworms and microorganisms interact to break down organic wastes on a commercial basis as mentioned in this paper.
Vermicompost tea production and plant growth impacts
TL;DR: Research has demonstrated the considerable potential of vermicomposts — produced from a wide range of organic wastes, particularly cattle, pig, paper and food wastes — in suppressing plant diseases, such as Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Plectosporium and Verticillium.

Effects of Vermicompost Tea (Aqueous Extract) on Pak Choi Yield, Quality, and on Soil Biological Properties
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of vermicompost tea (aqueous extract) on yield and chemical quality of pak choi (Brassica rapa cv Bonsai, Chinensis group) grown in three media (two soils and a peat-perlite medium) under two fertilizer regimes (compost and synthetic fertilizer).

Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Tomato and Lettuce as Affected by Vermicompost Water Extracts (Teas)
Norman Q. Arancon,Archana Pant,Theodore J.K. Radovich,Nguyen V. Hue,Jesse K. Potter,Chad E. Converse +5 more
TL;DR: Soaking seeds in vermicompost teas significantly increased germination percentage and seedling growth of tomato and lettuce seeds compared with control, and the presence of N-indole-3-acetic acid, cytokinin, gibberellins, and humic acids in the teas could have been responsible for the faster germination of tomato seeds when soaked at lower concentrations and longer soaking times.
