Vermicompost Production Technique and Materials Used in Production

Vermicompost is the final product obtained by subjecting organic wastes to mesolytic composting through the digestive system of worms. The shortage of organic matter in soil reduces the productivity of agricultural production and hampers its continuity. Soil organic matter helps to increase agricultural productivity by increasing microbial viability, improving soil structure, regulating nutrient and hormonal content of soil. For this reason, the use of vermicompost in agricultural lands should be encouraged. The installation of the vermicompost production facility is extremely easy and practical. It is possible to achieve commercial success with a properly installed facility. Thus, both the reduction of the use of synthetic fertilizers and the contribution to the domestic economy will be encouraged. The aim of this study is to give information about vermicompost production methods and materials
