Examination Of Nutrient Status In Vermi-Digested Green Waste Over Windrow Composted Green Waste

Abstract

The nutrient status of digested organic solid waste (Vegetable market waste) plays a significant role in plant growth.  The present study analyses the nutrient status in vermi-digested (VC) and windrow composted (WC) vegetable market waste.  Proximate and Ultimate analyses are carried out to determine the percentage composition of nutrients.  Initially, the experiments were carried out for 120 days in parallel (Composting and Vermicomposting).  Vital environmental parameters like pH, Temperature, EC, and moisture content were monitored at regular intervals and kept as per the requirements.  Further, Geo-physical analysis was also carried out to determine the Water holding capacity (WHC) and cation exchange capacity (CEC), which play a vital role in root development and nutrient distribution in plants.
