The present study was to determine the conversion of six different solid waste materials viz. kitchen waste, paddy straw, leaf litters, Azolla plant, Cyathula plant and mixed sawdust from local mills into vermicompost and their yield potential by using earthworm species Eisenia foetida. 5 kg dry weight of each waste material were mixed with cow dung and allowed to undergo decomposition. The maximum yield of vermicompost were recorded from the leaf litters ( kg dry wt.) followed by Azolla plant ( kg dry wt.). The lowest vermicompost yield was recorded from Cyathula plant ( kg dry wt.) respectively. | Studies on yield potential of vermicompost by using Eisenia foetida in different solid waste materials
