Excessive use of chemical products as fertilizers on agricultural production, has
been generating serious environmental pollution problems affecting human health as well.
To mitigate this problem, organic agriculture, where products from natural sources are
used only, may be a successful option (Ramos and De Luna, 2006). Organic production
certification demands a 3- to 5-year period with any use of chemical products.
Nevertheless, using organic substrates may reduce this period. The use of these substrates
besides giving plant support, they must bring enough nutrients in order to supply crop
demands. An alternative to get such substrates may be the mixing of vermicompost with
another inert substrate (Márquez et al., 2006).
It is necessary to find out alternatives for organic production such as, the use of
substrates from biodegradable products processed by the action of earth worms like
Eisenia foetida. Vermicompost is a substrate that, due to its physical, chemical and
biologic characteristics, can be used as a substrate to promote the growing processes of
different vegetable plants (Moreno and Aguilera, 2001). This substrate can bring out
nutritional demands of different vegetable plants growing in greenhouses; but even more,
it can greatly reduce the use of chemical fertilizers (Cruz et al., 2010). Organic fertilizers
are, by all means, the best economic, ecological and sustainable alternative for chili
pepper organic production (López and Poot, 2009).
