Effect of Composting Of Different Organic Wastes with Earthworm Species on C: N Ratio.

Abstract

A vermicomposting study was conducted with different organic waste like wheat straw, cotton stubble waste and leaf litter by using five species of earthworms i.e. Eisenia foetida, Eudrilus eugeniae, Perionyx excavatus, Lampito mauritii and one local. Lowest C:N ratio was recorded in cotton waste inoculated with Eisenia foetida over all other combinations except cotton waste inoculated with Lampito mauritii and leaf litter inoculated with Eisenia foetida and Lampito mauritii.
