Abstract

An attempt was made at ZARS, Navile, Shimoga, for recycling dried coconut fronds through vermicomposting. Around 5.58 tones of vermicompost can be produced out of coconut fronds available from one ha plantation in a year having nutrient composition of 1.38, 0.31, and 0.24 per cent of N, P and K, respectively, and Nfixing and P solubilizing organisms.
