Physico-Chemical Analysis of Vermicompost Mixtures

The study evaluated the physical and chemical characteristics of vermicompost mixtures to optimize nutrient extraction. Three compost (chicken plus horse (CH+H), chicken cattle (CH+C), (C+H)) were selected for quality evaluation at three extraction times: 24, 48, 72 h. results showed differences (p < 0.05) in concentration teas different mixtures. interaction between treatments time a significant effect on nutrients except P, K, Ca, EC. higher 48 h after pH was observed increase slightly with time. C+H had more percentage moisture content (44.79%) than other This mixture most preferred by worms, i.e., it greater size number worms. suggested that presence oxygen high temperatures affects ammonium availability tea as they trigger nitrifying bacteria. Due decrease some nutrients’ (NO3, Mg, Mn, Cu) h, concluded is best extract from produce good using aerobic method.
