Vermistabilization Through Earthworms
摘要
On a global level, the administration of solid materials has grown to be a significant problem. There is an urgent need to recycle these wastes because they can be a rich source of fertilizers for plants and soil conditioning agents. Earthworms can effectively break down various organic wastes into nutrient-rich vermicompost. By utilizing several earthworm species, an effort has been made in this chapter to emphasize the vermicomposting of various organic wastes. A thorough literature search was conducted using search terms on “Google Scholar, PubMed Central, SpringerLink, Science Direct, and” acceptable studies of vermicomposting of various organic wastes were chosen. Vermicomposting may turn any type of organic waste into fertilizer. It was discovered that the waste needed to be combined with additional organic material for different types of vermicomposting (cattle dungs). The excessive amount of organic waste kills the earthworms even though the vermipit with 20–30% of litter wastes combined with 70–80% additional biologically rich material, like calf dung, may easily turn garbage into a valuable product. The present chapter illustrated how vermicomposting is an effective and superior way to recycle these wastes even if many forms of organic solid waste cannot be directly digested by earthworms. A variety of crops can be grown in the fields with the help of the vermicompost that is created in this way. Also, farmers need to be persuaded to utilize vermicompost in their fields by educating them on the negative impacts of artificial pesticides and fertilizers.
