Microbial diversity of vermicompost bacteria that exhibit useful agricultural traits and waste management potential
This article reviews how vermicomposting — a process combining earthworms and microbes — transforms organic waste into nutrient-rich biofertiliser. It enhances soil structure, microbial diversity, and plant health by supplying hormones, enzymes, and disease-suppressing bacteria.
Vermicompost accelerates decomposition, improves nutrient availability, and offers eco-friendly waste management, effectively controlling pathogens, pests, and nematodes while promoting sustainable agriculture.
