"PHYSICOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF PRE-COMPOSTED BAGASSE, PRESS MUD, AND CHARACTERS OF SUPPLEMENTARY FEED MATERIAL"

Vermicompost is a highly nutritive organic fertilizer that helps to increase crop production. It is produced by plants and animals. Vermicompost is the product of the decomposition of organic wastes by earthworms. It is the process of making compost. Organic waste includes municipal solid waste, industrial waste, food waste, agriculture waste, etc. The bagasse, press mud, cow dung, urine, and earthworm were collected. Mass production of earthworms was done in the vermicompost unit. Physiochemical analysis of raw material (bagasse and press mud) and cow dung was done. In this paper, we observed that analyzed bagasse and press mud, and cow dung are nutrient-rich and can be used for vermicompost. Production of vermicompost can be increased by using these as raw materials.
