Abstract
Organic wastes or bio-wastes are not “waste” but prospective bio-resources. Management of bio-waste by technical methods has become a burning issue in the present time. in the present study cow dung (CD), Mango litter(ML) and Municipal solid waste (MSW) was treated with earthworm Eisenia fetida in different mixture ratios of the substrate. Waste was converted into organic manure along with increase in biomass and number of earthworms. This is supposed to be due to the rich concentration of OC, N, P and microbial population.
Keywords
