Earthworm species and their feeding substances have great role on the quantity and quality of produced vermicompost

Role of Vermicomposts Quality on Zinc and Boron Nutrition and Growth of Cauliflower

“…Combination of Eisenia fetida and cow dung was involved in producing vermicompost used in this treatment. Another study by the authors revealed the fact of producing better quality vermicompost with the help of Eisenia fetida than Eudrilus eugeniae [47]. Again, no significant differences were recorded in curd yield for the application of different treatments.…”

“…poultry litter @2.0 t ha -1 . Vermicomposts used in the study were collected from another research project conducted by the authors where two earthworm species (Eisenia fetida and Eudrilus eugeniae) were fed on different organic materials (cow dung, poultry litter and water hyacinth) in various combinations [47]. The nutrient content of respective vermicomposts used in the present study is given in Table 2.…”

“…Similar trends also reported in case of conversion rate of compost. Compost is mostly made up of thermophilic (heat-loving) organisms, whereas vermicompost is predominantly made up of mesophilic processes [ 46 ].…”
