Vermicomposting is a process in which earth worms are used to convert organic materials into humus - like material known as vermicompost. Nutrient profile in the vermicompost is generally higher than tradition compost. In fact, vermicompost can enhance soil fertility, physically, chemically and biologically. Physically, vermicompost treated soil has better aeration, porosity, bulk density and water retention. Therefore, vermicomposts should be applied at moderate concentration in order to obtain maximum plant yield. This review paper discussed in detail the effects of vermicompost in soil fertility physically, chemically and biologically. Future prospects and economy on the use of organic fertilizers in agriculture sector were also examined.
