With the further development of intensive production, continuous cropping obstacles have become a bottleneck of the sustainable development of planting in some regions of China. As a favorable organic fertilizer, currently the vermicompost has been successfully applied to the prevention and control of continuous cropping obstacles, and also achieved some research achievements. In this paper, the physicochemical and biological properties of vermicompost were introduced, some research progresses on the inhibition effect of vermicompost to the continuous cropping obstacles were summarized, and also the future research was prospected. It's hoped that this paper could provide a certain reference for the comprehensive control of continuous cropping obstacles.
