Important Topic for BHU/ ICAR PG -JRF/SRF/IBPS AFO : Organic Farming :: Vermi-composting

Organic Farming :: Composting Techniques - Vermi-composting

• Vermicomposting {Asked JRF Agronomy & BHU GA }
• is a process of degradation of organic wastes by earthworms.
• The species like Eisenia foetida and Eudrilus eugeniae are effective in converting the agricultural wastes into compost. {Asked JRF Plant sc 2017 }
• Selection of suitable earthworm  used for vermicompost production
• African earthworm : Eudrillus engenial 
• Red worms : Eisenia foetida
• Asia worm : Peronyx excavatus {Source: https://www.agricoachingdelhi.in/}

•  Most common available nutrients in vermicompost is as follows 
• Organic carbon = 9.5 – 17.98%
• Nitrogen = 0.5 – 1.50% {Asked in JRF Agronomy 2016 & & BHU GA }
• Phosphorous = 0.1 – 0.30%
• Potassium = 0.15 – 0.56%

{Source: https://www.agricoachingdelhi.in/}

•  Advantages of vermicompost
• 1. Vermicompost is rich in all essential plant nutrients.
• 2. Vermicompost is free from pathogens, toxic elements, weed seeds etc.
• 3. Vermicompost minimizes the incidence of pest and diseases.
• 4. Vermicompost is free flowing, easy to apply, handle and store and does not have bad odour.
• 5. It improves soil structure, texture, aeration, and waterholding capacity and prevents soil erosion.
• 6. Vermicompost is rich in beneficial micro flora such as a fixers, P- solubilizers, cellulose decomposing micro-flora etc in addition to improve soil environment. {Asked in JRF Agronomy& IBPS AFO }
• 7. Vermicompost contains earthworm cocoons and increases the population and activity of earthworm in the soil.
• 8. It neutralizes the soil protection.
• 9. It prevents nutrient losses and increases the use efficiency of chemical fertilizers.
• 10. Provides excellent effect on overall plant growth, encourages the growth of new shoots / leaves and improves the quality and shelf life of the produce.
