Bioconversion of Agrowastes in to Manure

"Organic agriculture is a unique production management system which promotes and enhances agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity, and this is accomplished by using on-farm agronomic, biological and mechanical methods in exclusion of all synthetic off-farm inputs"(FAO). For that reason, bioconversion is one of the best practices to produce manure, fertilizers etc. This book contains lab and land experimental procedures, results, discussion and conclusion of vermicompost preparation using agro wastes (Coir pith and Groundnut husk) and their physicochemical and microbial analysis. The information would be useful to the research side of agricultural science for all the stakeholders from students, research scholars, scientists, farmers.
