Enhancing soil fertility and crop nutrition through vermicomposting

Abstract

Vermicomposting, the process of using earthworms to convert organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, has gained considerable attention for its potential to enhance soil fertility and crop nutrition. This paper reviews the benefits of vermicomposting, its impact on soil health, and its role in improving crop yields and nutritional quality. By integrating vermicomposting into agricultural practices, farmers can sustainably manage organic waste, enhance soil structure, and increase the availability of essential nutrients, thereby promoting sustainable agriculture.
