Among all the Rice husk treatments, Rice husk which
was mixed with market refused papaya (1P:1RH) showed better quality vermicompost with higher nutritional status. It was also found that RH which was amended by market refused fruit (1B:1RH, 1H:1RH
or 1P:1RH), especially market refused papaya, encouraged the growth of earthworm as compared to
the treatment with Rice husk alone. The present data reveal that vermicomposting is a feasible technology for
bio-transforming Rice husk into value-added material, namely vermicompost.
