dc.description.abstract	Combined effects of three kinds of vermicompost and Pontoscolex corethrurus inoculation on plant yield and quality of broccoli were investigated in pot cultures organically. The experiment used a factorial complete randomized design which consisted of two factors. The first factor is the kind of vermicompost consisted of three levels: V1 = the mixture of spent mushrooms waste (SMW), cow dung (CD) and vegetable wastes (VW), V2=SMW, CD and leaf litter (LL), V3 = SMW, CD, VW and LL. The second factor is the population of P. corethrurus consisted of five levels: 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 indiv.m-2 and one control (inorganic treatment). Vermicompost was made by earthworm Lumbricus rubellus activity. The results of this study showed that the application of various vermicompost had significantly (p< 0.05) higher total biomass and marketable weight of broccoli than the control treatment. The highest total biomass (1.40-1.48 kg plant-1 ) was found on the vermicompost V1 and V2 with population 75 indiv.m2 and the vermicompost V3 with population 25-50 indiv.m 2 . But the highest marketable weight (378.26-412.10 g plant-1 ) was found on the vermicompost V1 with population 50 indiv.m2 , V2 with population 75 indiv.m-2 and V3 without inoculation earthworm. Vermicompost application significantly increased the quality of broccoli compared to the control, with the increase in the contents of sugar and vitamin C by 53% and 35%, respectively. Vermicompost application significantly (p<0.05) also increased the shelf life of broccoli by average storage loss of 16,4% for the treatment of 7 days of storage at room temperature and 6,47% for the treatment of 14 days of storage at cold temperature compared to the control treatment by 59,53% and 19,79%, respectively. Overall. the treatments using vermicompost V1 and V3 gave the highest quality. Thus, this study suggested for the broccoli cultivation in organic potting media should use the vermicompost.	en_US
