ABSTRACT: The main objectives of the organic farming are to maintain healthy environment, economic profitability and social as well as economic equity. The application of vermiwash definitely playing an important role in ensuring these objectives as it contains mucus, micronutrients, growth hormones, vitamins, enzymes and amino acids and it is applied as biofertilizer by directly adding it into soil and as a liquid spray overall part of the plant body to prevent fungal, bacterial pathogen, and pests as biopesticide. Bioactive macromolecules found in the coelomic fluid, mucus, and skin secretion of earthworms are very important to act against pathogenic soil microbe and pests. The present study from January 2019 to December 2021, investigated in situ effects of vermiwash foliar spray on ornamental Caladium hortulanum elephant ear plant, Corline fructicosa ti plant and medicinal Abrus precotoris rosary pea, Piper betle linn. Betle leaves showed beneficial effect in controlling weevils, bugs, fungi and bacteria, and promoted the growth and development of all the plants. It should be noted that vermiwash serve as a good biopesticide, biofertilizer and also increases disease resistant power of the plants intern it reduced the cost of farmers on routine or synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
