The use of earthworms for the conversion of different types of
wastes into vermicomposting can truly bring in ‘economic
prosperity’ for the farmers and the nations with ‘environmental
security’ for the earth.
The use of E. foetida (epigeic species)
for vermicomposting of garden waste, cow dung and kitchen
waste on the basis of nutrient content is an important indication
that this technology will reduce the burden of synthetic
Pearson’s coefficient of correlation was used to correlate the
relationship between different parameters. Results of all experiments
were analyzed by one way analysis of variance (ANOVA)
with Duncan’s multiple range test for comparison of the
significance level (P) between the means of different wastes.
A P 6 0.05 value was considered a significant difference between
the values compared.
