The present study deals with the influence of Vermiwash on germination and growth of Cow pea Vigna ungiculata and Rice Oryza sativa grown for a period of 25 days. Vermicompost was prepared by using earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae and by using cowdung and leaf litter in the ratio of 1: 1. Vermiwash was prepared from the vermibed. The physico – chemical and microbiological characteristics of the ver...

A pot experiment was conducted in Soil, Water and Environment department, University of Dhaka, during the late rabi season for 60 days with mung bean plants. The study cnducted to evaluate interactive effects vermicompost NPK fertilizers on plants’ growth, yield, nutrient protein content. trial laid out a completely randomized design (CRD) followed by three replications, having ten treatments, ...

Manure-derived organic amendments are a cost-effective tool that provide many potential benefits to plant and soil health including fertility, water retention, disease suppression. A greenhouse experiment was conducted evaluate how dairy manure compost (DMC), compost-derived vermicompost (VC), dehydrated poultry pellets (PP) impact the tripartite relationship among growth, physiochemical proper...

Dominance of chemical agriculture from last few decades has deteriorated the soil health and created problem of disposal of agricultural waste in rural areas. It is important to maintain environmental and agricultural sustainability without reducing productivity. Vermiculture technology has been considered as a sound and viable option to regenerate the soil health through recycling the agricult...

The present study was undertaken May-September (2007) to investigate the effect of organic viz., plant compost (PC), vermicompost (VC), integrated plant compost (IPC) and farmyard manure (FYM) and inorganic (NPK) fertilisers on the rhizosphere microbial population and soil physico chemical properties of soybean variety JS80-21. Control (CON) plot was also maintained without any fertilisers. Res...

Background: Maize is one of the best cereal crop as it also known “Queen cereals” by giving good taste, having more hybrid varieties, production and price also. But to make maize well fertile neutral soil important. In several previous years tthere was soil, plant environment relationship but due passing time health deteriorated using amount inorganic fertilizers (beyond limit). The insect pest...

Abstract Background Soil salinity buildup and soil degradation are emerging challenges in cropping systems practicing high chemical fertilization. Application of biostimulants organic fertilizers better deserve agricultural sustainability generally reflected more nutritious foods than Materials methods In this study, the growth, quality antioxidant capacity coriander ( Coriandrum sativum L.) we...

Several technologies are being applied for treatment of palm oil mill wastes. Among them, the biological treatments (vermicomposting) have widely been recognized as one of the most efficient and eco-friendly methods for converting organic waste materials into valuable products. The present study focuses on vermicomposting of acidic palm oil mill effluent (POME) mixed with the palm pressed fibre...

There are a number of options to control the odor during the degradation of organic wastes and biofiltration is one of them. Fresh vermicompost has a high surface area, adequate absorption capacity and high diversity and population of micro-organisms. Vermicompost helps in degradation process as well as in suppressing the odor. Study was organized in order to use the vermicompost as a biofilter...
