Vermicomposting is the microbial composting of organic wastes through earthworm activity to form organic fertilizer which contains higher level of organic matter, organic carbon, total and available N,P,K and micronutrients. Vermiwash is a liquid collected after a passage of water through a column of worm action and it is very useful as a foliar spray. The physico- chemical properties of vermicomposts showed well marked difference in physical parameters of PH, EC and bulk density. The chemical parameters of N, P, K and micronutrients increased over the initial at the intervals of 30th and 60th days. The physico-chemical parameters of E.eugeniae and E.foetida and reported that E.eugeniae worked vermicompost showed significant increase than other one. The final EC of Eudrilus compost reported was 0.85±0.09 in control, 0.91±0.11 in E1, 0.96±0.13 in E2, 0.87±0.10 in E3, 0.88±0.10 in E4. The Eudrilus treated compost were increased to slightly alkaline During the experimental period the highest level of nitrogen was recorded in 60th day .The 48 hrs pH of vermiwash was slightly increase than what it is in 24 hrs . All the vermiwash shows slightly alkaline from 7.12-51.The N,P,K,Ca were decreased in 48 hrs vermiwash than in 24 hrs. The organic matter and other micronutrients are traced in 28 hrs and 48 hrs vermiwash. Analysis of variance [ANOVA] shows difference between control and experiment. The present study revealed vermicompost and vermiwash may attribute the significant increase and an emphatic effect on macronutrient and micronutrient on plant growth.
