摘要：Managing for soil health is one of the most effective ways for farmers to increase cropproductivity and profit-ability while improving the environment. The present study was undertaken forthe improvement of soil fertility with the help of garden waste and dung vermicomposting. A free choiceexperiment on soil, garden waste and dung mixture in different ratios revealed the best culture mediawas mixture of these three wastes in proportion of 1:1:1. Further study in soil, garden waste and dungmixture followed by release of earthworms and maintained for 60 days resulted the best results wereobtained in soil-garden waste-dung ratio (1:4:4) in which maximum increase (3171.07 %) in total bionumber(adults, juveniles and cocoons) and net biomass (743.51 %) was recorded. The maximumamount of nitrogen (1.94%), phosphorus (1.12%) and potassium (1.18%) content were also noticed inthis mixture. The study concluded that releasing of Eudrilus eugeniae worms in organic waste rich moistsoils can be best for in situ recycling of waste biomass and for remediation of soil fertility.
