Earthworms (Verms) have long been described as the intestine of the earth, friends of farmers and so on, because of their manifold functions in the soil. Recently, earthworms have come to be recognized as one of the bioreactors due to their ability to degrade organic waste materials into available vermin-compost and the technology is being described as vermiculture technology or Vermitechnology. Due to population explosion beyond the limit and rapid urbanization, total agricultural land area is decreasing day by day. These are directly affecting the crop production. Although due to the usage of various chemical fertilizers and pesticides, yield of crop production have been increased multi-folds, but their excessive and imbalance usage causing tremendous alterations in natural soil environment. In order to cope with this trenchant problem, the vermitechnology has become the most suitable remedial device of the day. Therefore, the present book entitled Verms & Vermitechnology has been edited to make the low cost vermitechnology a grand success among the farmers, researchers and academicians.
The present book is a pioneering work on earthworm biology, ecology and tool for vermitechnology. This up-to-date and comprehensive text and reference book through its integrated interdisciplinary approach deals with various facets and dimensions of soil biodiversity, earthworm biology, ecology and their utilization in biotechnology vermitechnology. The writing style is lucid with ample illustrations with up-to-date review on different aspects of vermitechnology. This book provides the detailed technical edge in the subject.
Vermiculture refers to the artificial rearing or cultivation of earthworms for the production of vermicompost to benefit humans. The utility and variability of research work in this field could be of great use to the agricultural community. The book provides the basic concepts of vermitechnology in a manner suited to a broad spectrum of graduates and researchers.
Vermitechnology is the biggest blessing to control organic biodegradable solid waste and liquid effluents. The vermicast produced during this process become rich in nutrients, vitamins, enzymes, growth regulator, beneficial microflora and pathogens free. It helps to improve the soil structure, texture, and improves water holding capacity when used for the plant growth. Therefore, a study has been conducted by selecting herbal pharmaceutical and bulk drug industrial wastewaters and treated aerobically with the help of vermifilters. The detailed influent and effluent evaluation were carried out with performance of reactors containing vermiculture. The results obtained has proved that, it is the effective biological treatment method. The bioassay studies of treated effluents and histological studies of earthworms, proved that it is a safe, cost effective, eco-friendly and sustainable method of wastewaters treatment.
This new volume offers effective solutions to the mismanagement of waste, particularly in developing countries, by providing an understanding of different types of wastes, their generation, and use of advanced technologies for waste management, and by focusing on integrating the technical and regulatory complexities of waste management. It provides a comprehensive overview of the characterization, issues, and regulatory development of waste management for sustainable solutions and prevention techniques. Covering the various types of pollution, including pollution from plastics, industrial activities, metals, livestock, healthcare, food loss and waste, etc., the book explores new techniques for thermal and radioactive waste management and includes such methods as vermicomposting and composting for organic waste management and profitable use. The volume also looks at the role of modern technologies and legislation measures to manage biosolid waste. Numerous data sets obtained from various surveys are included, and special categories of waste that may not fit precisely into either RCRA Subtitle D (solid wastes) or Subtitle C (hazardous wastes) are discussed as well.
Exploring the dramatic growth and changes in the field of vermicomposting since 1988, this comprehensive review assesses the advancements made in government-funded projects in the U.S. and UK. It discusses outdoor and indoor windrows, container systems, wedge systems, and low labor-requirements. It also examines fully-automated continuous flow vermicomposting reactor systems that can process more than 1000 tons of organic wastes per reactor. The book highlights the science and biology behind the use and efficacy of vermicomposting and details the technology of the past, present, and future.
Environmental Management Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities details the environmental problems posed by the various types of toxic organic and inorganic pollutants discharged from both natural and anthropogenic activities and their toxicological effects in environments, humans, animals, and plants. This book also highlights the recent advanced and innovative methods for the effective degradation and bioremediation of organic pollutants, heavy metals, dyes, etc. from the environment for sustainable development. Features of the book: · Provides state-of-the-art information on pollutants, their sources, and deleterious impacts on the environment · Elucidates the recent updates on Emerging Pollutants (EPs) in pharmaceutical waste and personal care products · Discusses the various physico-chemical, biological, and combination treatment systems for sustainable development · Details recent research findings in the area of environmental waste management and their future challenges and opportunities
This book describes the various applications of microorganisms in improving plant growth, health and the efficiency of phytochemical production. The chapters trace topics such as the role of PGPRs in improving salt stress and heavy metal tolerance in plants; the prevention and control of plant diseases; boosting soil fertility and agriculture productivity; the induction of secondary metabolite biosynthesis in medicinal and aromatic plants; the enhancement of phytochemical levels, and the action mechanisms, diversity and characterization of PGPRs. The reviews will be of interest for scientists in the fields of agriculture, microbiology, soil biology, plant breeding and herbal medicinal products.
Sustainable Crop Production - Recent Advances addresses various nutrient, crop, and soil management issues, including recent advances in sustainable food production in the context of the changing climate. Chapters present case studies on long-term field experiments in specific locations with a focus on the state of the art of sustainable agriculture production systems.
