Assessment of the Reproductive Potential of Eudrilus eugeniae in Different Ratios of Organic Waste (Kitchen and Garden) with Cow Dung

India is the most populous country in the world. Extensive agriculture practices are currently used to fulfill human food demands. This leads to huge waste generation, and vermicomposting is a cheap and eco-friendly procedure to diminish the waste management problem. Seven vermibins were prepared to conduct this experiment. The garden and kitchen wastes (KW) were chopped and dried in sunlight. Results showed that composting all garden and KW with cow dung (CD) increased the percentage weight change (137-174%). However, the cocoon production rate (CRP) was higher at 65 days than at 35 days, and the maximum CRP and hatchling production rate were recorded in K3 (mean ± standard deviation [SD]; CPR at 35 days: 51.67 ± 0.57; CPR at 65 days: 62.33 ± 1.52, hatching production rate: 63.33 ± 0.58), respectively. Meanwhile, the maximum percentage of hatchling success was in K1 with mean ± SD; 78.33 ± 2.88. This study aimed to assess the change in the biomass and reproductive potential of Eudrilus eugeniae in two different feeding stock organic materials with CD. .
