In a recent study, Raphael and
Velmourougane (2010) reported comparative efficiency of Eudrilus
eugeniae and P. ceylanensis in vermicomposting coffee pulp and they
found that the composting efficiency was 70.98% for E. eugeniae and
77.99% for P. ceylanensis, respectively, after 112 and 165 days. However,
vermicomposting of MSW with P. ceylanensis has not been assessed.
Hence, the present study has been aimed to find the
vermicomposting efficiency of P. ceylanensis.
