The aim of the present study was to investigate the suitability for vermicomposting of vegetable waste amended with cow dung using the earthworm species Eisenia foetida. Moreover, the effect of different vermicompost on tomato plants in pot culture experiment was also investigated. In present 1:1 ratio (cow dung: vegetable waste) of substrates used in vermicomposting shows minimum mortality of earthworms. It was also observed that vegetable waste amended with cattle manure in appropriate ratio produces ideal compost which could have attributed to the plant growth as well as fecundity of earthworms.
