Vermiculture and Vermicomposting During Evaluation Of Physicochemical Properties of Eudrilus eugenae.

R. S. Tambe, P. D. Pulate

Abstract :

In present investigation attempt has been made to study the Physicochemical Properties like PH, Temperature, Moisture, Salinity, Electrical conductivity, Nitrate, Phosphate, Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and Biological oxygen demand (BOD) from Eudrilus eugenae During Vermicomposting. Vermicomposting is the process by which worms are used to convert organic materials into a humus like material known as Vermicompost & the goal is to process the material as quickly & efficiently as possible. The Vermicompost has more available nutrients per kg weight than the organic substrate from which it is produced. The biological activity of earthworms provides nutrients rich Vermicompost for plant growth thus facilitating the transfer of nutrients to plants.
