Abstract

Goal. The development and approval o f methods o f the production o f vermiculture and vermihumus and its processing products. Methods. The research was conducted in the conditions o f “LIGA SOLAR ” LLC, Zaporizhzhia in two stages. A t the first stage, a method and a device fo r the production o f vermiculture and vermihumus was developed. At the second stage, a method o f deep processing o f vermihumus using the AVS-100 vortex layer apparatus was developed. The results. A method o f vermiculture and vermihumus production has been developed, which consists in the fa ct that the substrate, made ofprefermented organic material, is placed through the door into the container, after which populations o f compost worms are planted in it from one o f the walls. Next, on an open site for vermicomposting, ridges with a certain distance between them are form ed with a self-propelled stacker. After the completion o f vermiculture and the formation o f fresh vermihumus in the container, a second container filled with fresh nutrient substrate is tightly placed next to it, into which the worms from the first container migrate, forming the next active zone o f vermicomposting and vermiculture. After the completion o f vermiculture and the formation o f fresh biohumus in the second container, a third container with a nutrient substrate is tightly placed next to it again, where the worms from the second container migrate, etc. Containers with missing worms and ready-made vermihumus are lifted by hinges and transported by appointment. New containers with fresh substrate are placed in place o f the evacuees and the vermicomposting process continues. In the course o f deep processing o f vermighumus by improving the conditions fo r extracting water-soluble humic substances, simplifying and reducing the cost o f the technological process and obtaining biologically active substances from it, vermighumus is mixed with water in a ratio o f 25/75, passed through a vortex layer apparatus (АВС-100) and exposed to a number o f physical factors, namely: intense mechanical dispersion, acoustic dispersion, electric dispersion o f the magnetic field, electrolysis, high local pressures. To increase the output o f humic acids, potassium hydroxide is added to the vermighumus dissolved above in a dose o f 1 kg per 100 liters o f solution. Conclusions. A method and device fo r the production o f vermiculture and vermihumus has been developed, which prevents contact o f rodents with worms and increases the yield o f vermiculture by 14,78 % and vermihumus by 23,36 %. A method o f deep processing o f vermihumus has been developed, by using a vortex layer apparatus (АВС-100), which ensures obtaining a high-quality liquid humic biological preparation, which contains: humic acids -19,1, fulvic acids -30,8, humic substances 49,9 g/l and has an intrinsic performance 3,32-9,98 times higher than the prototype.

Key words: worms, processing, wemiculture, vermihumus, container, vortex layer apparatus, humic biological preparation.
