Every year, India creates more than 42 million metric tonnes of solid trash. The nation's garbage management system is under a substantial degree of stress as a direct result of the nation's growing urbanisation. Additionally, every year in India, 18% of the fruit and vegetable harvest is wasted owing to rotting. Composting is the most effective method for recycling organic waste currently available. Another sort of compost is called vermicompost, and it is distinguished from ordinary compost by the use of earthworms in the decomposition process. It's probable that microbial inoculants will play a big part in this. Microbial inoculation, a complicated agricultural practise that has an effect on the surrounding environment, is an innovative strategy for raising crop yields while simultaneously minimising the quantity of inorganic fertiliser that is necessary. Inoculants composed of microorganisms are regularly sprayed to soil in order to increase agricultural productivity and even people's overall health. We are all aware that the composting process is an ongoing one that requires a large amount of time. Therefore, as a result of this, it was what first got them interested in employing vermicomposting and microbial inoculants in order to improve the characteristics of the compost and receive the greatest possible advantages. As a result, the idea of integrating all three tactics into compost came into existence. We need to come up with a strategy to utilise the trash from vegetable markets in agricultural practises so that we can improve the general quality of the soil and boost the growth of plants. This experiment is meant for farmers who grow certain types of land, such as fields of cabbage, onions, or bananas. In addition, the experiment helps to highlight the distinction between compost that is generally generated from mixed vegetable waste and compost that is formed from waste that has been separated.
