Can vermicompost mitigate water stress & pest pressure on zucchini?
INTRODUCTION Urban agriculture faces numerous challenges; particularly water access and pest pressure. Vermicompost might mitigate water stress by enhancing organic matter and humic acids that improve water retention1, and relieve pest pressure by enhancing plant defensive chemistry.2 In this experiment, we examine how water stress and vermicompost interactively shape pest attraction
