“…These effects increased when seedlings in the transplant media were irrigated with water containing inorganic fertilizers. The impacts of applications of compost and vermicompost produced from water hyacinths was assessed in terms of growth and flowering of crossandra (Gajalakshmi and Abbasi 2002). Applications of vermicompost led to statistically significant improvements in the growth and flowering of crossandra compared to those of untreated plants.…”

“…Comparatively higher manure values were recorded in vermicompost prepared from dried materials than fresh material. The viability of vermireactors fed with different proportions of WH and CD was assessed over six months by Gajalakshmi et al (2002a) who conducted a six months long trial on different WH fed vermireactor • pre-composted fresh weed…”

Treatment of solid wastes using earthworms has been intensively investigated in recent years. Most of the agricultural, urban or industrial organic materials can be used for vermicomposting, ensuring that they do not contain toxic materials, which can harm the earthworms. The transformation of solid wastes into vermicompost is of double interest: a waste is converted into value-added product and it controls a pollutant that is a consequence of increasing population, urbanisation and intensive agriculture. This paper deals with the state of research on various aspects of vermicomposting process.

“…It is scientifically proving as 'miracle growth promoter & also plant protector' from pests and diseases. (Gajalakshmi et al, 2002). The work related to the preparation of predecompost with vermicompost, preparation of vermiwash and vermicompost extract, physico chemical parameters, growth parameters and biochemical characteristics of cluster bean is total wanting.…”

Objective: To preparation of vermicompost from paper industry waste for recycling the nutrients using earthworm Eudrilus eugeniae kingberg. To analyze the physico chemical parameters of vermicompost, vermiwash and vermicompost extract, enumeration of microorganism from vermicompost, growth parameters and biochemical characteristics of Cluster bean (Cymopsis tetragonoloba) were studied. Methods: The paper industry wastes washed for two times with preparing the predecompost and it kept in 30 days. For preparing the vermicompost, the predecomposition was directly mixed with cowdung in the ratio of 1:2 on dry weight basis in same tank. Seventy number of healthy, clitellate Eudrilus eugeniae kingberg were introduced in the same tank. After 45 days the trial tank compost were sieved and collected for paper industry waste vermicompost. Results: The physico chemical parameters of vermicompost vermiwash and vermicompost extract were studied, the growth parameters and biochemical characteristics were higher in treatments 5 and 6 of Cluster bean were using various concentration of vermicompost, vermiwash and vermicompost extract. Conclusion: Present study was concluded that the Eudrilus eugeniae kingberg is more efficient in bioconversion of paper industry waste vermicompost, vermiwash and vermicompost extract were using various concentration of pot culture study of brinjal was higher growth and high yield and vermicompost act as an excellent biofertilizer of crop plants.
