Vermicomposting for Sustainable Agriculture

This book has been written as a manual which looks in to the process of vermicomposting as a viable option to promote sustainable agriculture. There is a global need, which is increasingly making its presence felt, for agriculture to incorporate renewable resources that cause minimum pollution and maintain the optimum yield from land. Vermicomposting, with its characteristics as a renewable source of high nutrient content and nil pollution contribution, presents an ideal agricultural practice.

The book guides readers on the cultivation of earthworms, vermicompost pits, and the use of earthworm excreta for effective implementation of vermicomposting.
