Vermicomposting: A potential technology for Sustainable Agriculture and Waste Management
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Potentialities of exploiting earthworm activities for our economic interest are multiple. These simple creatures can turn waste into gold by converting decomposable organic waste into valuable compost through vermicomposting. Vermicompost is cheap and sustains crop yield without deleterious effect on the environment, thus having promise to marginal and resource poor farmers. It will not only eliminate or minimize the requirement of chemical fertilizer and growth regulator but also improves the qualities of the soil and give better crops. Low capital investment and relatively simple technologies make vermicomposting practical for less-developed agricultural areas and provides employment opportunities. This may be a good asset for sustainable agriculture and waste management in years to come.
