Vermicompost manure with enriched quality is manufactured by our team of 20 women’s at Pinjara Pole Gaushala, Jaipur. This vermicompost is made up of cow dung desi cow from Gaushala. The women team is dedicated to make this manure from last 5 years. They make it on their own but scientific methods with the help of earthworms.
Vermicompost is a type ofcompostin which certain species of earthworms are used to enhance the process of organic waste conversion and produce a better end-product. It is a mesophilic (Amesophileis anorganismthat grows best in moderatetemperature, neither too hot nor too cold, typically between 20 and 45°C) process utilizing microorganisms and worms. Earthworms feeds the cow dung or organic waste materials and passes it through their digestive system and gives out in a granular form (cocoons) which is known as vermicompost.
Simply speaking, vermicompost is earthworm excrement, called castings, which can improve biological, chemical, and physical properties of the soil. The chemical secretions in the earthworm’s digestive tract help break down soil and organic matter, so the castings contain more nutrients that are immediately available to plants.
Types of earthworms
There are nearly 3600 types of earthworms which are divided into burrowing and non-burrowing types. Red earthworm species, likeEiseniafoetida,and are most efficient in compost making.
Benefits of vermicompost
The worm castings contain higher percentage of both macro and micronutrients. Apart from other nutrients, a fine worm cast is rich in NPK which are in readily available form and are released within a month of application. Vermicompost enhances plant growth, suppresses disease in plants, increases porosity and microbial activity in soil, and improves water retention and aeration.
Vermicompost also benefits the environment by reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and decreasing the amount of waste going to landfills. Vermicompost production is trending up worldwide and it is finding increasing use especially in Western countries, Asia-Pacific and Southeast Asia.
