Vermitechnology Leachate: An Ecofriendly Innovative Technology for Best Crop Production

Abstract

The disposal of organic wastes from domestic, agricultural and industrial sources has caused increasing environmental concerns. In this regard recycling of utilizable waste is feasible which can be solved by combination of effective technologies like Biodung composting and Vermitech (incorporating earthworms for the production of vermicompost). Vermicompost Leachate resulted in production of vermicompost confirming to the excellent nutrient status recorded in earlier experiments. Organic amendments like vermicompost leachate increase the organic matter content necessary for the maintenance of soil properties, which is beneficial for long-term sustainability and crop productivity. Considering the above it is proposed that large-scale production of vermicompost through vermitech to recycle organic waste could effectively help in managing solid waste and farmers for crop productivity could apply vermicompost thus produced. This could lead to a suitable environment-friendly effort towards a balanced ecosystem. The present article describes the solid waste were successfully processed through partial biodung composting and vermicomposting.
