Abstract

Vermicomposting (conversion of organic material into manure by earthworms) is a rich source of macro and micro nutrients, vitamins, enzymes, antibiotics and growth hormones etc. for growing the crops (Bhawalkar, 1991 and Gupta, 2004). Earthworm may be released for vermicomposting after proper partial anaerobic decomposition of the substrata. The period required for partial decomposition may also be differed between different substrata. Consequently, the period required for completion of vermicomposting may be variable depending on the substrata. Conversion of huge available biomass of these unwanted weeds in to organic manure appears to be best alternative for sustainable human livelihood security.

zation and increasing the population are the major factors of depletion of medicinal and aromatic plants. Some other aspects of wild collection include lack of knowledge about sustainable harvest rates and practices. Undefined land use rights and lack of legislative and policy guidance. We can increase the productivity of medicinal and aromatic plants by plantation or provide essential facilities or credibility. We can also develop growth related strategies for higher use of these valuable plants. t-style:normal'>Aspergillus sp. showed maximum allergenicity with 3+ to 4+ reactions.
