Abstract

Vermicomposting, the process of using earthworms to convert organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, has gained significant attention in recent years due to its numerous environmental benefits, particularly in improving soil health. This review paper explores the concept of vermicomposting, its mechanisms, advantages, and applications in enhancing soil fertility, structure, and biodiversity. We also examine the impact of vermicompost on crop growth and the potential role of vermiculture in sustainable agriculture. By synthesizing current research, this paper provides a thorough overview of the potential of vermicomposting in promoting soil health and addressing the challenges of modern farming practices.
