dc.description.abstractHuge amount of organic wastes including agricultural field wastes, food wastes, municipal solidwaste and manures can be converted into a safe and usable product that can be used as a possiblesubstitute for chemical fertilizers. In this regard, the proposed study was designed with the aim toprepare macro and micronutrients rich vermicompost from different bio-wastes that can be used asa possible substitute to chemical fertilizers for improving plant growth. A 90 days vermicompostingexperiment was conducted in wooden boxes (1×1 m) containing animal manure and waste material(grasses, brewed black tea leaf and dry leaf) mixed in 3:1 ratio with a 2.5 cm thin layer of soil. Thematerial was at the bottom of the bed and around 10.000 earthworms of Eisenia fetida were settledin the box. The boxes were irrigated by sprinkled water daily and tilled from the top once every weekfor maintaining aeration and proper decomposition. The vermicompost production was continuedfor about 90 days in each box under 21-23°C room temperature. The results showed that by usinganimal manure and waste materials, the physical parameters like moisture content was increasedupto50 % on day 90. Likewise, the percent increase recorded for total N, organic N, total P andsoluble K content on day 90 was maximum in the vermicompost prepared from animal manure andwaste material. It can be concluded from this experiment that with the help of earthworm’s, differentfield and garden residues, wastes and manures can be converted into a nutrient rich and environmentfriendly vermicompost that can be used as a possible substitute to chemical fertilizers for improvingplant growth.
