Organic Waste Management By Vermitechnology
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Vermitechnology has become a popular method for the safe disposal and cost effective treatment of diverse organic wastes for the production of Vermicompost and worm biomass. It is an environmental friendly, rural based technology for sustainability as it process diverse organic wastes in the nature, avoids pollution through recycling of plants nutrients. The disposal of organic wastes in unscientific manner causes many more problems such as fly breeding, transmission of pathogenic microorganisms, soil and air pollution. Earthworms as considered as natural bioreactors, which proliferate along with saprophytic micro-organisms, provide necessary conditions for the bio-processing of organic wastes. Hence, the review assesses the significant role of earthworms through vermitechnology in management of organic wastes and sustainability of environment and their future prospects. The product like vermicompost and vermiwash in the form of organic fertilizer and bio pesticide helps to improve physic-chemical and biological parameters of soil and acts as a soil conditioner that indirectly increase food production and soil health.
