Vermicompost is the use of earthworms for composting organic residues. Earthworms can consume practically all kinds of organic matter. Earthworms have the capacity to eat as much matter as their own weight and produce the same amount of manure per day in the form of castings.
It has become imperative to adopt earthworm farming for sustainable agricultural production and for the economic prosperity of the farmers.
Vermicompost offers the following advantages:
can convert 1000 tonnes of moist organic matter into 400 tons of high value compost
castings or excreta of earthworms are rich in nutrients and bacterial and actinomacetes population
the potential benefits include:
reduction of noxious qualities of a wide variety of organic waste, elimination of smell, reduction of harmful microorganisms
production of marketable organic fertilizer
production of aqua life, birds and animal food or even human food by drying earthworms
additional benefit to the farmers
increases soil fertility and bacterial activity in the soil
increases micro grains in the soil and enhances water absorption capacity
helps the plant root get air easily
increases plant resistance to pests, fungus and other deceases
vermiwash
liquid fertilizer collected over passage of water through a column of worms in action useful as foliar spray
collection of excretory products and mucus secretion of earthworms along with micro nutrients from solid organic molecules
achievements
installed thousands of domestic vermicompost units so far
started initially with the financial support from capart, a government of india organisation and continuing with ver revenues
