Vermicompost is organic fertilizer prepared by composting different types of organic waste. Different microorganisms and earthworms play a crucial role in preparing vermicompost.
In the process of vermicomposting, a decomposing mixture of vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and worm castings is recycled to produce organic manure for crops and plants.
As an environment-friendly technique, vermicomposting is an efficient, odorless, and non thermophilic procedure of reducing the naturally decomposable waste volume. Also, it helps detoxify the toxic ingredients of such waste to prepare organic fertilizer (as plant feed).
Vermicompost promotes crop production and yield. It adds to the soil health, fertility, soil structure creating conditions for healthier plant growth.
