Abstract

A vermicomposting study was conducted with different organic waste like wheat straw, cotton stubble waste and leaf litter by using five species of earthworms i.e. Eisenia foetida, Eudrilus eugeniae, Perionyx excavatus, Lampito mauritii and one local. The result of Eisenia foetida, Lampito mauritii and Eudrilus eugeniae were comparable on nutrient content. The maximum content of nutrients was recorded in vermicompost prepared from leaf litter followed by cotton waste.
