| Dissertation note | The term ‘vegetable waste’ can be utilized to describe the plant-tissue waste created on farming land. It can include the non-consumable parts of plant discarded which are unnecessary during collection, handling, transportation and processing Vegetable waste is separated from green waste, which includes the disposable waste from gardens and public parks. Vegetable wastes are one of the significant sources of municipal wastes. Reusing of these wastes through vermitechnology turn down the problem of no utilization of wastes. In contrast to chemical fertilizers, locally available organic wastes of anthropogenic and natural products were used as bio fertilizers after employing earthworm as decomposers, for debasement and reusing to increase the production of crops which are free from contamination and health dangers. In spite of different issues this activity of dumping is similarly a reason of loss of important materials that can be reused as fuel, plant nourishment and grains. Vermicomposting has been recognized as one of the probable activities in managing MSW since it is a natural process, finance affective and only shorter duration needed to finish. Vermicompost in recent years has gained significance because of its higher supplement ratio such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium etc. Most vermicomposting experiments have used epigeic earthworm species because they hold greater fertilizing potential. Earthworms are often referred as nature’s cultivators and farmer’s friends. They play very significant role in the soil formation; they mix the organic matter personally with mineral particles during the utilization of organic material as their nutrient. During their feeding; earthworms increment the working productivity of scale living beings, which balances out soil and quickens the breakdown of natural material. Participation of earthworm in breaking of organic wastes makes the process quicker with increased humiliation of natural matter, rate of Summary 44 mineralization and increased movement of microbes that improves the quality of the end productmanure. Experiment was performed utilizing Vegetable waste, Cow compost, Earth worms and Urea differing the amounts of every component in each holder. This waste included the peels, rotten pieces and scrapped portions of tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, cabbage and carrots etc. The waste was smashed with sledge. Worms (Eisenia fetida); were requested from natural planting stores. They replicate rapidly. Cow dung; one week old cow excrement was gathered from cowshed of UVAS. Slurry was set up of this cow compost to use simultaneously. Nine treatment such as T1 (Vegetable waste), T2 (The bedding will be set up by blending in part rotted vegetables' waste with halfway rotted cow dung in 1:1 proportion), T3 (The bedding will be the same as of T1 but with the splash of 2 % urea solution.), T4- (The bedding will be the same as of T1 with expansion of Eisenia fetida), T5 (The bedding will be the same as of T1 with splash of 2 % urea solution and the Eisenia fetida),T6 (The bedding will be set up by modifying vegetable waste and cow dung in 2:1 ratio with Eisenia fetida), (T7) The bedding will be set up by modifying vegetable waste and cow dung in 2:1 ratio with splash of 2 % urea solution and the Eisenia fetida ), (T8) The bedding will be set up of vegetable waste and cow dung in the ratio of 5:1 individually with the Eisenia fetida), (T9) The bedding will be prepared with the ratio of 5:1 of vegetable waste and cow dung individually with splash of 2 % Urea solution and the Eisenia fetida). After these treatments the samples were digested by using diacid mixture. After digestion potassium (K) was detected by using Multi-channel Flame photometer. Phosphorus (P), Nitrogen (N) was detected. Temperature, pH, moisture content, Carbon content was detected before the digestion. The result observed showed that there is increase in the nitrogen (N), potassium (K) and phosphorus (P). Temperature, pH and moisture content were in the acceptable limits for the composting. The C: N ratio decreased during the process and increase in biomass of the worms was also observed. |
