What is VermiCompost?
  • Vermicompost is nothing but the excreta of
    earthworms, which is rich in humus and nutrients.
  • VermiCompost helps the plants in every aspect and
    boost up its growth.

3
VermiCompost Production
  • Vermicomposting is a method of preparing enriched
    compost with the use of earthworms. It is one of
    the easiest methods to recycle agricultural
    wastes and to produce quality compost. Earthworms
    consume biomass and excrete it in digested form
    called worm casts. Worm casts are popularly
    called as Black gold. The casts are rich in
    nutrients, growth promoting substances,
    beneficial soil micro flora and having properties
    of inhibiting pathogenic microbes.

VermiCompost Materials
  • Decomposable organic wastes such as animal
    excreta, kitchen waste, farm residues and forest
    litter are commonly used as composting materials.
  • In general, animal dung mostly cow dung and dried
    chopped crop residues are the key raw materials.

5
Methods Of VermiComposting
  • Vermicromposting is done by
  • 1. Bed method - Composting is done on the pucca /
    kachcha floor by making bed (6x2x2 feet size) of
    organic mixture. This method is easy to maintain
    and to practice
  • 2. Pit method Composting is done in the cemented
    pits of size 5x5x3 feet. The unit is covered with
    thatch grass or any other locally available
    materials. This method is not preferred due to
    poor aeration, water logging at bottom, and more
    cost of production

6
Process of VermiComposting Preparations
  • 1)Processing involving collection of wastes.
    Animal excreta, kitchen waste, farm residues and
    forest litter etc...
  • 2) Pre digestion of organic waste for twenty days
    by heaping the material along with  Cow dung and
    chopped dried leafy materials mixed in the
    proportion of 3 1This process partially digests
    the material and fit for earthworm consumption.

  • 3)A concrete base is required to put the waste
    for vermicompost preparation. Beds should be kept
    moist by sprinkling of water (daily) and by
    covering with gunny bags/polythene.Bed should be
    turned once after 30 days for maintaining
    aeration and for proper decomposition. Loose soil
    is stricctly not recommended as it will allow the
    worms to go into soil and also while watering,
    all the dissolvable nutrients go into the soil
    along with water.

8
  • 4)Compost gets ready in 45-50 days Collection of
    earthworm after vermicompost collection. Sieving
    the composted material to separate fully
    composted material. The partially composted
    material will be again put into vermicompost bed.
  • 5)Storing the vermicompost in proper place to
    maintain moisture and allow the beneficial
    microorganisms to grow.

Benefits Of VermiCompost
  • High levels of bio-available nutrients for plants
  • High level of beneficial soil microorganisms
    promoting plant growth
  • Rich in growth hormones Biochemical stimulating
    total plant growth
  • Rich in humic acids Biochemical promoting root
    growth nutrient uptake
  • Vermicompost is free of pathogens
  • Vermicompost is free of toxic chemicals
  • Vermicompost protects plants against various
    pests and diseases
