Vermi-composting is an age-old and proven technology of converting organic wastes into useful compost.In the present study, an attempt was made to produce vermi-compost using Eudrilluseugi- niae from various ratios of mixtures of 3 different solid wastes and one weed plant. They were food wastes, vegetable wastesand garden wastes, and Eichornia crassippes plant. The quality of compost prepared from various combinations was compared. The compost prepared from the combination in which Eichorniacrassippes was taken in 2 portions and others taken in 1 portion each was found to be of supreme in quality in terms of nutrient content. | | Keywords : | | |
