After using vermicompost in most of the crops, it has been found that germination percentage as well as produce quality is very high. ![]() Vermicompost plays an important role in improving growth and yield of different field crops like vegetable, flower and fruit crops. The earthworms promote faster decomposition of organic material when compared to compost pits without earthworms. Using proper species of earthworms, excellent quality of compost can be produced in ambient temperature conditions in a short period of time. One can get excellent profits by commercial production of vermicompost as the use of this increasing day by day. Introduction of Vermicompost:- What is vermicomposting?
