VILCHES-LEON, Eneida E. et al. Response of Abelmoschus esculentus L. and Vigna unguiculata L. to Vermicompost Leachate Applications. Rev Cie Téc Agr [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.3  Epub 01-Sep-2023. ISSN 2071-0054.

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) and string bean (Vigna unguiculata L.) are vegetables that provide important nutrients in the human diet. The use of vermicompost leachates could be nutritional alternatives for these crops, which allow reducing the dependence on chemical fertilizers and the impact on the environment. The objective of the work was to evaluate the response of both vegetables to dilutions 1/10 and 1/20 (v:v) of bovine manure leachate mixed with leucaena or moringa, giving rise to four treatments and one control, replicated three times and distributed according to completely randomized design. The treatments were bovine-leucaena leachate (LBL 1/10 and 1/20), bovine-moringa leachate (LBM 1/10 and 1/20) and the control (without application). The first application of the product was by imbibition of the seeds of both crops for 30' and foliar spraying every 15 days. Some growth and yield indicators were evaluated in both crops. The results indicate that the application of LBL 1/10 showed increases in all the variables evaluated in okra, reaching a yield of 44.7 t ha-1 while in string bean, the LBM 1/20 offers better results for all the variables studied, with a yield of 32.4 t ha-1.
