ABSTRACT
Agricultural waste which includes food processing waste is the by-product of different food manufacturing firms that have not been reused. These wastes create a huge problem in landfills due to their high rate of biodegradability. The main sources are animals, residues of crops, residues of trees, etc. Advances in agricultural biotechnology have led to improving high-yielding varieties of crops and accumulations of subsequent crop residues such as straw, leaves, twigs, etc. In vermicomposting, the alteration of the waste happens through the action of earthworms and oxygen-consuming organisms. Vermicomposting is an ecological and cost-effective strategy for the management of rural waste. Eisenia fetida is one of the foremost common species utilized in vermicomposting. Commonly referred to as fellow farmers, worms progress soil wealth through the decay of organic matter (OM). In this way, the worms take off behind their casts which are an especially simple source of bio-fertilizer. A physiochemical examination had revealed that vermicomposting expanded the supplement substance compared to compost and other wastes. The other regions of its application relate to crop development by suppressing pathogens, advancing the water-holding capacity of the soil. Consequently, vermicomposting will lead to improve crop production and yield, as well as improve the soil health.
