DESCRIPTION |
|
| The Vermiresource Technology is a small and handy compilation for a wider audience interested in learning and popularization of this ecologically sound, economically viable and socially acceptable technology. Biodiversity of vermiresources has been described in detail. Historical origin, species diversity, distribution, biology, ecological categories and richness, habitat diversity, seasonal dynamics, role in soil enrichment and soil biodiversity improvement, agricultural sustainability, land bioremediation, conversion of negative assets into profits and toxicological assessments have been nicely presented. Usefulness of vermiresources in waste decomposition, biofertilizer generation, protein, food, drug and vitamin production and environmental detoxification has been mentioned. There is a detailed chapter on vermiculture biotechnology which deals with the methods for mass multification of vermiresources and their induction into vermicomposting, production of nutrient rich vermifertilizer, and role of vermicompost in mineralization of soil nutrients and maintenance of soil fertility. Effects of vermicompost on crop production and preparation of vermiwash by a designed unit and its application for increasing agricultural productivity have been discussed. In addition to earthworms, another important and ignored vermiresources i.e., enchytraeid has also been described. Overall the book is unique and important in the present days of warranted need for biological resource management. |
