During first green revolution, use of excess synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and other inputs, adversely affected ecosystems. The second green revolution started as organic farming. Keeping this view in mind, a new eco-friendly vermiwash model has been developed with five main modifications, to get qualitative and quantitative vermiwash. Vermiwash is liquid bio-fertilizer obtained from earthworm activities, i.e., coelomic fluid and vermicasting filtrate.

Abstract


During first green revolution, use of excess synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and other inputs, adversely affected ecosystems. The second green revolution started as organic farming. Keeping this view in mind, a new eco-friendly vermiwash model has been developed with five main modifications, to get qualitative and quantitative vermiwash. Vermiwash is liquid bio-fertilizer obtained from earthworm activities, i.e., coelomic fluid and vermicasting filtrate.
