Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 51
Abstract
Field experiment was taken up at Krishi Vigyan Kendra- Senapati, Manipur, India for conversion of bio-degradable waste materials of KVK-Senapati farm into usable organic compost through vermicomposting during the years 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-2015 respectively by using earthworm species Eudrilus eugeniae and Eisenia foetida. Vermipit of size (10x3x 2) ft of 10 numbers were constructed with concrete cement and silpauline sheet at the KVK-Senapati farm. About 12 tons of vermicompost and 450 litres of vermi wash were obtained from 50 tons of waste materials during the year 2012-13, 13 tons of vermicompost and 500 litres of vermiwash were obtained from 55 tons of waste material during the year 2013-14 and 14.50 tons of vermicompost and 600 litres of vermiwash were obtained from 60 tons of waste materials during the year 2014-15. A sum of Rs 188,250 (One lakh eighty eight thousand two hundred and fifty), 208,500 (Two lakh eight thousand and five hundred) and 239,000 (Two lakh thirty nine thousand) only were generated from 50, 55 and 60 tons of waste materials respectively. Thus the technology provides good self-employment opportunity and sound economy of the tribal farming community.
