The aim of this study is to investigate the stabilization tannery sludge compost mixed with cow manure at different ratios by employing an epigeic earthworm Eisenia foetida and bioaccumulation chromium in earthworms. Organic (M) (S) were certain proportions, moistened worms added. Mixing realized as 100% M (M100S0), 70% + 30% S (M70S30), 50% (M50S50) (M30S70). experiment was carried out a const...

Crop production by the use of sustainable methods in agriculture has become the order of the day as there is a growing concern to conserve the environment and make the earth last longer for posterity. Keeping this end in view there is a constant search for manures and fertilizers that are eco-friendly and biodegradable. Vermicomposting is a novel method of decomposing organic matter and produci...

In the present work, lavender waste, a residue of essential oil extract industry, was used to feed Eisenia andrei with mature horse manure at ratios 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25 and 100:0 on dry weight basis. Vermicomposting carried out for 70 days in laboratory conditions. Biological parameters such as population build-up, total biomass, mortality cocoon production were observed measured. Increa...
