ABSTRACT
Vermiculture involves intensive earthworm culture, with domestication of the earthworm, by using earthworms in organic-waste breakdown (Neuhauser 1978). Vermicomposting is an aerobic biooxidation and stabilization process that is mesophilic and depends on earthworms to fragment, mix, and aerate the organic wastes, as well as promote microbial activity, producing earthworm casts or vermicomposts.
