ABSTRACT : Today researchers are searching for organic waste management technology which should be effective, ecological and sustainable without affecting the environment and very much beneficial to the agriculture. Vermiculture is the best technology for waste treatment which has a tremondous future in the field of organic waste management. This review focuses on vermiculture technology in which animal wastes and organic residues are used as substrate to produce vermicomposting. Organic wastes are converted into usable form of nutrients (vermicompost) with the help of earthworms and microorganisms. Vermicompost is highly rich in micro and macro nutrients and beneficial micro-organisms. Beyond this, during the vermicomposting process, a brown colored liquid is produced called vermiwash which also has high nutrients to promote the growth of plants. Thus the organic waste can be excellently recycled and converted into useful vermiproducts which has been proved undoubtedly as an essential product in plants growth, productivity and also maintaining health of the soil . Despite the major advances have been made in this technology, there is still a need and scope to undertake investigaion to identify a group of microorganisms which helps in maintaining health of the soil and good crop production.
