Abstract
Vermicomposting of Flower Waste: Optimization of Maturity Parameter by Response Surface Methodology
Highlights
Reduce, recycle and reuse of the organic waste is big challenges for municipal authorities in developing countries
The model was developed for the process parameter and quality of compost such as pH, electrical conductivity, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, sodium, potassium and phosphorous
This study concludes that flower waste mixed with cow dung into appropriate proportion it can be vermicompost by E.fetida
Summary
Recycle and reuse of the organic waste is big challenges for municipal authorities in developing countries. In India per capita waste generation is 0.17 to 0.8 per capita per day. Total waste generation in India is 1, 27,486 TPD in 34 states of municipality of this 89,334 TPD (70%) collected. Among these waste 48% are biodegradable waste and only 12.5% was used for processing such as composting and vermicomposting, production of gas etc [1]. Biodegradable waste contains fruits, flower, food waste etc. The quantity of flower waste in India is 300 MT/day [2]. Flower waste mixed with municipal waste and used for landfilling. Flower waste contains useful micro and macronutrients which are beneficial for the growth of plants can be converted into nutrient enriched products
