VermiCompost
Vermicompost is rich in Nitrates and Minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and potassium. These are used as fertilizers and enhance soil quality.
When Earthworm convert Organic Waste to Manure, This process is callde Vermicomposting. And the manure rich in high nutritional content is called VERMICOMPOST.

Vermicompost used as Fertilizers and Enhance soil quality.
During Vermicomposting Earthworm FEEDING on Biomass and excreting it in a digested form CALLED Vermicompost.
Vermiculture means “worm-farming”. Earthworms feed on the organic waste materials and give out excreta in the form of “vermicasts” that are rich in nitrates and minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and potassium. These are used as fertilizers and enhance soil quality.
The nutrients profile of vermicomposts are:
1.6 per cent of Nitrogen.
0.7 per cent of Phosphorus.
0.8 per cent of Potassium.
0.5 per cent of Calcium.
0.2 per cent of Magnesium.
175 ppm of Iron.
96.5 ppm of Manganese.
24.5 ppm of Zinc.
Advantages Of Vermicomposting
Develops roots of the plants.
Improves the physical structure of the soil.
Vermicomposting increases the fertility and water-resistance of the soil.
Helps in germination, plant growth, and crop yield.
Nurtures soil with plant growth hormones such as auxins, gibberellic acid, etc.
