Zusammenfassung:Vermicompost is a nutrient-rich biological fertilizer with a variety of microorganisms that are thought to be significant in increasing the growth and yield of various field crops, vegetables, flowering plants, and fruit trees. Vermicomposting has attracted a lot of attention as an extensive approach for restoring the environment, producing nutrient-rich bio-fertilizers, and growing crops in a sustainable manner. It isploying earthworms to break down complex organic waste into simpler materials that could be taken up by plants. Vermicomposting yields a valuable byproduct called vermi-wash, which enhances crop resistance against diseases, stimulates seed germination, and improves overall plant vigor. This research paper sheds light on the significance of vermicomposting as a sustainable waste management solution and an eco-friendly means to enhance agricultural productivity. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the composition and quality of vermicompost, the materials used in the process, the vermicomposting procedure, and the subsequent effects on crop performance. Through the adoption of vermicomposting practices, agricultural systems can become more environmentally friendly, economically viable, and resilient for a sustainable future.
