Abstract
Now a days one of the major problem faced in the country, is the management of solid organic wastes. In the present study, the most common and useful species of earthworm i.e; Eudrilla euginae was introduced in terms of converting various bio-wastes in to vermicompost. The experiment was carried out in earthern pots during July, 2008. The four bio-wastes sites of the city like garbage of the city, paper waste, house hold waste and vegetable waste were taken under the observation. Just after the experiment data were analyzed for the results. The result clearly indicates that the various bio-organic wastes have significant role on growth and development of earthworms as well as production of vermicompost. The highest amount of production of vermicompost was recorded from the vegetable market wastes (5.6kg), whereas the lowest (3.2kg) was noted from the garbage of the city from the total waste of (9.0) kg. The other sources of organic bio-wastes also proved good results for the conversion of organic bio-wastes in to vermicompost.
