Cow dung Vermicomposting: A Comparative Study on Physicochemistry and Biodegradability of Eudrilus eugeniae and Lumbricus rubellus

A comparative study on the vermicomposting ability and efficacy of two earthworm species (Eudrilus eugeniae and Lumbricus rubellus) on cow dung was carried out using standard methods. Data collected showed that there was an increase in the major nutrients content such as nitrogen, potassium and pho...
