A Comprehensive Study on Agricultural Residue Management by Vermicomposting.

The green revolution as well as improved seed-based fertilizers and water management have increased food grain production. The planned crop has led to an increase in food grains and biodiversity. Rice farming, wheat production as well as sugarcane crops have also increased the yield and crop waste. This farm waste has also increased the cost of farm management. Many farmers' burn and dispose of this waste, which causes air pollution. For example, the burning of waste from paddy and wheat farms in Punjab has led to an increase in air pollution in and around New Delhi. Also, the burning of farm waste is causing the loss of organic matter. Therefore, the vermicomposting project is the right way to use all such agricultural waste in the same field. This will enable proper drainage of field waste and enable the concerned farmer to produce vermicomposting containing the maximum amount of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potash in less space. Therefore, while maintaining the balance of the environment, natural air, and water remain clean. Varieties of earthworm species are utilized for making vermicompost, which is useful for the rapid growth of a crop. This reduces the use of chemical fertilizers in the field and enables the farmers to do properly planned farming at a low cost. It takes less time to do vermicomposting. They also make the seedlings grow faster, Increases soil water holding capacity, and Reduce soil BOD. Also, vermicomposting is a boon for the nursery. Stakeholders would be truly intelligent consumers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
