Abstract

Municipal solid waste was vermicomposted with cow dung using Perionyx ceylanensis for 50 days. Decomposition rates ranged 55-78%, C/N ratios improved, and NPK content increased significantly. Microbial populations and biomass/cocoons of worms were enhanced, supporting vermicomposting efficiency. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. © 2011 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
