Popis: Solid waste management is the major problem. Because the waste generated from various sources should be properly disposed in order to maintain the healthy environment. Present study was conducted to recycle the aquatic weed, water hyacinth with suitable method of vermicomposting by using earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae. The water hyacinth vermicompost was applied on Cow pea (Vigna unguiculata) plant and measured the growth parameters. The result indicated that vermicompost treated plants showed maximum enhancement in the plant growth attributes over control. Therefore, it can be concluded that vermicompost is very effective in improving soil quality and crop yield. And it can be best alternative fertilizer to replace the chemical fertilizer.
