Abstract

Compositing has been recogonized as a low cost and environmentally sound process for treatment of many organic waste. Vermicompost is the type of compositing that was studied on the growth parameters of Ground Nut plant [Arachis hypogaea.L]. Vermicomposts are the products delivered from the accelerated bio degradation of the organic waste by earth worm and microorganisms. Vermicompost chemical composition contains especially nitrates, exchangeable phosphorous, soluble potassium, calcium and magnesium than that of growth media. The study was mainly aimed on the plant growth on the seedlings that was grown in difference composition of the vermicompost such as [10%-100%].
