Abstract

The excessive use of synthetic fertilizers and other agrochemicals during the Green Revolution has had negative impacts on soil health and the environment. In order to adopt a more sustainable approach to agriculture, it is necessary to use organic nutrient sources. Vermicomposting is a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly technique that uses worms to break down organic waste into nutrient-rich compost. Vermicomposting promotes soil biodiversity and improves plant health, leading to increased crop productivity and reduced yield loss. Vermicompost is a valuable tool for sustainable agriculture and safely treating agricultural, industrial, domestic, and medical waste.
