Worms are part of the animal kingdom
These are called Eisenia foetida but you may know them as Red Worm
Tiger Worm
Red Wiggler
Method of Vermicompost Making
Organic wastes are mixed with cow dung, live soil and farmyard manure at the ratio of 6: 3: 0.5: 0.5 on dry weight basis.
A compost heap is constructed by using above mentioned materials and allowed to decompose at least 15 days.
For commercial purpose or large scale productions, composting is done in a trench. Generally, a trench is prepared under a shade

Dose of Vermicompost :
For Field crops: 2-5 t/ha
For flowers: Vermicompost is applied at 750–1000 kg ha-1.
For vegetables: 7.5 t/ha
Fruit Tree: 200-500g/ plant depending on tree and age of tree
Vermicompost can be used for all crops: agricultural, horticultural, ornamental and vegetables at any stage of the crop

Precautions during the process
• Most Indian species are not suitable for the purpose.
• Only plant-based materials such as grass, leaves or vegetable peelings should be utilized in preparing vermicompost.
• Materials of animal origin such as eggshells, meat, bone, chicken droppings, etc are not suitable for preparing vermicompost.
• The earthworms should be protected against birds, termites, ants and rats.

Method of Phosphocompost Making•Select a suitable upland place, sufficient sunlight, free from water stagnation•Step-1:Take one bucket and add Raw Cow dung- 1kg, Compost- 0.5 kg, Soil -0. 5 kg and small water, stir the material and make a
slurry.•Step-2: Take 2nd bucket and add urea-200g, cultures-5g and add water small, make another slurry
•Step-3:Spread dry wastes followed by green wastes and make it 12″ height•Step-4:Now add slurry from 1st bucket (cow dung etc slurry), next add slurry
from 2nd bucket and spread evenly.•Step-5: Now spread 2 kg Rock phosphate and1 kg Pyrite•Repeat the process Step-1 to step 5 and repeat until 10 layers is formed.• covered the top and side portion of the heap with Layer of mud (soil+ cowdung) and subsequently cover with poly thene sheet to prevent water
•1st turnings after 4 weeks and 2nd turnings after 8 weeks• Water is added to the heap so that moisture remains between 60 to 70%.•Add water at each turning to maintain the moisture content between 60 and 70%.•The compost becomes ready for field application within 90-100 days period.

Preparation of liquid manure1.5 kg fresh cow dung + 1.5 kg fresh green
leaves
40 litre of water
(after around 20 days)
Diluted and the final volume is 200 litreThe average nutrient content of the liquid manure: N – 1%, P2O5 – 2% , K2O – 2%.
Crops suitable for green manuringLegumes: Dhaincha ( Sesbania aculeata), Sunhemp (Crotalaria juncea), Cowpea (Vigna sinensis), Pea (Pisum sativum), Berseem

Biofertilizers(BF)Applications Methods : Seed Treatment (200 g(BF) in 400 ml water, make
slurry, mix with seed, dry in shade and sown to the field)
Seedling Root Dipping (200 g(BF) in 1-1.5 L water, dipping root seedling for 30 min to 1 hr.)
Veg. Propagule treatment (200 g(BF) in 4-5 L water , spray it) (Potato, sugarcane,ginger-100 no. propagule)
Soil Treatment (2 kg Bf are mixed in 100 kg Compost, keep it overnight mixture is incorporated in the soil at the time of sowing or planting)
Wheat, Maize, Cotton, Mustard etc. Azotobacter + PSM at 200 g each per 10 kg of seed as seed treatment For transplanted rice, the recommendation is to dip the roots
of seedlings for 8 to 10 hours(whole night) in a
soln of Azospirillum + PSM at 1kg each in 40L water
Jute: Azospirillum+PSM 200g each as seed treat.
Vegetables like Tomato, Brinjal, Chilli, Cabbage, Cauliflower etc., Mustard, Sunflower, Cotton use Azotobacter/ Azospirillum + Phosphobacterin 1 kg each as seedling root dip.
For Potato, Ginger, Colocasia, Turmeric, For Potato, Ginger, Colocasia, Turmeric, Paddy -use Paddy -use AzospiillumAzospiillum/ / Azotobacter Azotobacter +PSM @ 4 kg +PSM @ 4 kg each/acre mixed with each/acre mixed with compost and applied as soil treatment.compost and applied as soil treatment.
Sugarcane use Acetobacter + Phosphobacterin 4 kg each/ acre as seed sett dipping.
Plantation crops use Azotobacter+phosphobacterin 4 kg each/ acre with compost & applied in soil in two splits per year.
