Vermicompost By Madhuban Orgo

Vermicomposting is generally defined as the biological aerobic transformation of an organic by-product into a different organic product that can be added to the soil without detrimental effects on crop growth, which is largely derived from animal and plant wastes. It is a simple biotechnological process of composting, in which certain species of earthworms are used to enhance the process of waste conversion and produce a better end product. We have wide experience in Organic Farming. We are having Thousands of satisfied customers all over the country. Vermicompost reduces soil erosion, decreases nitrate leaching into groundwater and surface water, and recycles animal wastes back into the farm. It is an environment-friendly process, converts a wide variety of wastes into valuable agricultural inputs. Compost is an excellent source of humus and plant nutrients, on the application of which improve soil biophysical properties and organic matter status of the soil. is a biotechnological process by which different microbial communities convert organic wastes into a stabilized form. Vermicompost is finely divided peat-like materials with high porosity, aeration, drainage, and water-holding capacity. They have a vast surface area, providing strong absorbability and retention of nutrients. contain nutrients in forms that are readily taken up by the plants such as nitrates, exchangeable phosphorus, and soluble potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
The tremendous increase in population, urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural production results in accumulation quantities of solid wastes. This has created serious problems in the environment. In order to dispose of this waste safely, it should be converted effectively. This is achieved by bio-composting and vermicomposting of farm, urban and agro-industrial waste. It is being increasingly realized that composting is an environment-friendly process, convert a wide variety of wastes into valuable agricultural inputs. Compost is an excellent source of humus and plant nutrients, on the application of which improves soil biophysical properties and organic matter status of the soil. This present review focused on vermicomposting and its importance in the improvement of soil nutrition and agricultural crops. This review assesses the following topics: vermicomposting, raw materials of vermicomposting, microbiology of vermicomposting, effect of vermicompost materials in agriculture, and physicochemical properties of soil, and the importance of vermicompost. Recycling organic wastes through vermicomposting is being considered as an economically viable solution.
