Vermicomposting is a biological process of efficient treatment of organic wastes in order to increase soil fertility. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of vermicompost prepared by various organic wastes such as dry leaves, domestic waste, crop waste, cow dung, produced by the action of two authenticated species of earthworms i.e Eisenia foetida and Eudrilus eugeniae. Citric acid and other acidic material of the kitchen waste (e.g.- peels of lemon, garlic & onion, etc.) were avoided for the preparation of vermicompost as it repels earthworms and produces a foul smell. The physiochemical parameters of vermicompost samples were analyzed by standard specified methods. Results revealed that vermicompost contains a high number of micronutrients as well as macronutrients. This study concludes that vermicompost prepared from organic wastes can act as a valuable biofertilizer for the sustainable growth of land and its restoration. This study also indicates that vermicompost of organic wastes like domestic waste, crop waste, cow waste, dry leaves also contain plant growth regulators in final vermicompost which is beneficial for plant growth.
