Abstract

having C-N ratio less than 40 can be used successfully for vermicomposting. A temperature of 18 to having C-N ratio less than 40 can be used successfully for vermicomposting. A temperature of 18 to having C-N ratio less than 40 can be used successfully for vermicomposting. A temperature of 18 to having C-N ratio less than 40 can be used successfully for vermicomposting. A temperature of 18 to 25 25 25 25 25 0 C and moisture content of 40 to 60% were most congenial. Substrate treatment by bioinoculants C and moisture content of 40 to 60% were most congenial. Substrate treatment by bioinoculants C and moisture content of 40 to 60% were most congenial. Substrate treatment by bioinoculants C and moisture content of 40 to 60% were most congenial. Substrate treatment by bioinoculants C and moisture content of 40 to 60% were most congenial. Substrate treatment by bioinoculants and or addition of rock phosphate enriches the vermicompost through increase in the total nitrogen and or addition of rock phosphate enriches the vermicompost through increase in the total nitrogen and or addition of rock phosphate enriches the vermicompost through increase in the total nitrogen and or addition of rock phosphate enriches the vermicompost through increase in the total nitrogen and or addition of rock phosphate enriches the vermicompost through increase in the total nitrogen and available phosphorus and potassium content of ver and available phosphorus and potassium content of ver and available phosphorus and potassium content of ver and available phosphorus and potassium content of ver and available phosphorus and potassium content of vermicompost.
