Abstract

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the effects of compost and vermicompost of municipal solid waste application on the growth of Dracaena marginata tricolor. Then, the results of foliar application of compost tea and vermicompost tea on the plants were examined. Method Experimental treatments included compost and vermicompost of municipal solid waste in proportions of 50 and 70% combined with the perlite. Then we sprayed compost tea and vermicompost tea on the plants at a concentration of 10 ml. At the end of the study, the physical and chemical properties of the substrates, the amounts of macronutrients in the substrates and the plants, growth indices, as well as anthocyanin content, were evaluated. Results The results showed that conversion municipal solid waste compost to vermicompost improved the physical and chemical properties of this material and the absorption of nutrients.  Also, the vegetative indices and anthocyanin content of this plant were positively affected. Foliar application of compost tea and vermicompost tea caused higher nutrient absorption and improved plant growth indices, except for dry root weight. In general, combining 50% of the organic components of substrates with perlite achieved better results. Conclusion Based on the findings, compost, and vermicompost of municipal solid waste are cheap and available alternatives to peat moss in the cultivation of Dracaena marginata tricolor. Also by spraying compost tea and vermicompost tea, it significantly improved the amounts of nutrients, vegetative indicators, and its appearance.
城市生活垃圾堆肥及其衍生物,适宜替代泥炭苔藓生长的三色龙血树
目的研究城市生活垃圾堆肥和蚯蚓堆肥对三色龙珠生长的影响。在此基础上,研究了叶面施用堆肥茶和蚯蚓堆肥茶的效果。方法采用50%和70%比例的城市生活垃圾堆肥和蚯蚓堆肥与珍珠岩混合处理。然后以10 ml的浓度在植株上喷洒堆肥茶和蚯蚓堆肥茶。研究结束时,对基质的理化性质、基质和植株中常量营养素的含量、生长指标以及花青素含量进行了评价。结果将城市生活垃圾堆肥转化为蚯蚓堆肥,改善了蚯蚓堆肥的理化性能和养分的吸收。对其营养指标和花青素含量也有积极影响。叶面施用堆肥茶和蚯蚓堆肥茶提高了植株的养分吸收,改善了植株的生长指标,但根系干重有所改善。一般情况下,将50%的基质有机组分与珍珠岩结合,效果较好。结论城市生活垃圾堆肥和蚯蚓堆肥可替代泥炭苔藓种植三色龙珠。此外,施用堆肥茶和蚯蚓堆肥茶,也显著改善了养分含量、营养指标和外观。
