Today, an important problem is the conversion of organic wastes into vermicompost and alternative organic fertilizer is obtained which is beneficial to sustain the productivity of the soil. Vermicompost is fertilizer material rich in symbiotic, asymbiotic microorganisms, mycorrhizal fungi and actinomycetes, as well as worm secretions, growth hormones, enzymes, vitamins and amino acids. Vermicompost increases the population of beneficial organism in the soil by using these beneficial properties in plant growth and suppresses diseases and harmful effects and provides positive changes in physical, chemical and biological parameters of soil and provides significant improvements in plant growth and yield and nutrient uptake.
