Abstract
Vermicompost produced with such locally accessible composting material at a significantly lower cost might be of substantial value to end users like farmers for replacing chemical fertilizers and obtaining better pricing for organic produce. The by-products of many food sectors that have not been recycled or used for other reasons include agricultural wastes, including wastes from food processing. Due to their high rate of biodegradability, these agri-horticultural wastes pose a significant issue in municipal landfills. The Eisenia fetida earthworm is one of the most common species used in vermicomposting. The production of high-yielding varieties of crops and their following crop wastes, such as straw, leaves, twigs, and stubbles, together with significant numbers of grasses and weeds, have been facilitated by advances in agricultural biotechnology. Earthworms and aerobic microorganisms work together to stabilize organic waste throughout the vermicomposting process. Vermicomposting is a cost-effective and environmentally beneficial way to manage agricultural waste.
