Comparative Analysis And Enrichment Of The Nutrient Composition Of Fruit, Vegetable And Agro Waste By Composting With Earthworm Eudilus Eugineae , Eisenia Fetida And Millipede Arthrosphaera Magna

India generates about 350 million tonnes of organic wastes every year. Vermicomposting and Millicomposting is a good and affordable technique used to produce organic compost from organic waste with the aid of specific earthworm and millipede species. It is one of the economically and environmentally friendly methods of organic waste processing. It is a newly becoming organic solid waste management strategies. The present research work was carried with the objective exploring the vermicomposting and millicomposting processing. In this experiment, the fruit waste, vegetable waste and agri residues was processed by two earthworm species, Eudilus eugineae , Eisenia fetida and one millipede species Arthrosphaera magna. The macronutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium were evaluated in vermicompost, millicompost and conventional compost and assessed the growth efficiency of plant, Abelmoschus esculentus. The nutrient status and growth efficiency of vermicompost and millicompost processed by earthworm species and millipede species produced from above said organic waste were more than conventional compost. Moreover, the biocompost produced together by Eudilus eugineae, E.fetida and A.magna processed higher nutrients and growth efficiency than that of other biocomposts. This study promising that biocomposting is an ecofriendly method to solve the acute problem of solid waste
