Vermi composting is a cost-effective and eco-friendly process used to treat organic waste. Vermi compost is nutrient rich,
with microbiologically-active organic amendment which results from the interactions between earthworms and micro
organisms by the breakdown of organic matter. Earthworms convert the waste material into small particles by breaking in
the gut and obtain the nutrients from the microbes that harbour upon them. This process increases the rate of degradation
of the organic waste matter, modifies the physico-chemical properties of the matter and leads to formation of humus in
which unstable waste matter is completely oxidized. Various physico-chemical and biological characteristics of soil are
enhanced by amendment with vermin compost as well as it aggregates stability of soil, growth of plants, increases microbial
activity and enzyme production. Research have shown that vermin compost has an effective role in improving growth and
yield of different field crops, including vegetables, ornamentals, cereals and fruit crops.
