Quality of Vermicompost Obtained from Residues of Forestry and Livestock

The forestry-livestock waste materials represent a serious ecological problem if they are not handled properly in agricultural activities. Vermicomposting is a biotechnological process with potential to transform such materials into products that can be safely used as soil enhancers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional characteristics of organic fertilizers obtained from forestry-livestock organic waste materials when they are processed through vermicomposting using “Red Californian Earthworm ” (Eisenia fetida). A completely randomized experimental design with four treatments and eight replicates was performed. Treatments (mixtures
