Comparative Efficiency of Eisenia Fetida and Perionyx Ceylanensis in Vermicomposting Implications for Sustainable Agriculture
View through CrossRef
The use of Vermicompost is gaining attention as a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers. This study compares the efficiency of two earthworm species, Eisenia fetida from Australia and the Indian variety Perionyx ceylanesis (Jai Gopal), in producing high-quality vermicompost. Parameters such as organic matter decomposition rate, moisture content, pH, and nutrient availability were measured to assess the compost quality. The study found that Eisenia fetida decomposes organic matter faster, while Perionyx ceylanesis produces compost with a balanced pH and higher microbial diversity. These results highlight the potential of utilizing a combination of both species to achieve optimal vermicompost quality, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.
