Abstract

Vermibiotechnology is a boon for sustainable agriculture. In this study the animal wastes (Red Sindhi variety cow and Ellichpuri variety buffalo) composted with leaf litter of Ficus benghalensis. The probiotic was used at two concentrations (10%, 20% and 30%) to enhance the composting process. For each waste, viz., cow and buffalo were inoculated with 1kg earthworms (Eudrilus eugeniae) of similar size per 800 g of waste. The total heterotrophic bacterial (THB) populations were screened at regular interval (0, 15, 30 and 60 days) under identical laboratory conditions during the composting process. Total heterotrophic bacterial population was found to be high in the vermicompost processed with the wastes of Red Sindhi cow variety at 10% probiotic concentration.
