Abstract
The present study aims to understand the density and distribution of earthworms (DDEW) in the chosen habitat sites. To consolidate the list of soil associated and other environmental factors on DDEW. To know and generate the awareness to promote the possibility of introduction of the exotic varieties in the field with an integrated approach by in-situ vermicomposting cum vermiculture by way two novel insitu culture methods experimented at our centre namely pit bed culture and strip bed culture. The in-situ culture system through square pit, circular-cylinder pit and strip bed displays an overwhelming perform with regard to the increase of earthworm population, process and rate of composting. While comparing the in-situ Farm yard manure characteristics, the in-situ Vermicompost reveal higher success rate. Out of various parameters and stations studied, the ideally combined characteristics at S1, S10, S 11 were found to be advantageous.
