Abstract :The aim of the study is to reveal the increase in agricultural production caused by the use of vermicompost in various agricultural productions compared to other fertilizers and its contribution to the economy of the farmer and the country depending on this increase. In order to achieve this aim, the results of previous studies and trials were investigated and analyzed. The study has shown that the results obtained with the application of vermicompost alone or in combination with other fertilizers provide an increase in both fruit rate, leaf development and dry matter rate. It has also been determined that it regulates the soil structure and PH value. The positive results of the use of vermicompost, the increase in the quality and quantity of the obtained product, the supply of the products needed by the market, the improvement of the soil structure, the more economical meeting of the plant nutrients that the plant needs are reflected both in the prices of the farmers and in the national economy. Therefore, the use of vermicompost is more economical than chemical fertilizers, the long-term effect on the soil and the increase in yield make a positive contribution to both the farmer and the country's economyKeywords : Vermivompost, Economic Benefit, Soil PH, Inorganik Fertilizer, Product Quality
