Biodegradation of Obnoxious Vegetation through Vermicomposting

To evaluate the effectiveness of various obnoxious vegetation's biodegradation. Huge amounts of biomass in our ecosystem come from these plants. Experiments were conducted on the partial breakdown of four toxic plants: water hyacinth, lantana, and Parthenium (Parthenium hysteropherus L.) (Eichhornea crasspes L.). Conversion of this enormous biomass into organic manures using various vermicomposting techniques. These tests were conducted in tarasevaniya dairy farms, Bhopal, from January to April of 2023. 4 additives, including fresh cow dung (a), were added to an equal amount (4 kg on a dry weight basis) of fresh biomass from each of these 4 vegetations and subjected to partial aerobic decomposition for 5 weeks each. Before earthworm incubation, use Trichoderma (b), (a+b) and no other additions. The results showed that the aerobic breakdown of Eichhornea and the other 3 substrata took 3 and 4 weeks, respectively, before the incubation of earth worms was adequate. Cow dung or Trichoderma supplements, either separately or in combination, helped shorten the earthworm incubation period by one week compared to when no supplements were added.
