  1. VermiwashAs a component of INM

  2. Introduction Vermiwash: As a component of INM Vermiwash, a liquid bio-fertilizer can be collected through the column of activated earthworm. It contains plant growth hormones like auxins and cytokinin apart from nitrogen, phosphorus, potash and other micronutrients.

  3. Vermiwash: As a component of INM Agriculturally Important Microbes in Vermiwash Phosphate solublizing bacteria(PSB). Nitrogen fixing bacteria Azotobacter sp Rhizobium sp.

  4. Vermiwash: As a component of INM Benefits of Vermiwash Vermiwash acts as a plant tonic and helps to reduce many plant diseases A mixture of vermiwash (1litre) with cow urine (1litre) in 10 litres of water acts as bio-pesticides and liquid manure.

  5. Principle of Vermiwash production Vermiwash: As a component of INM • The trickling of water takes away all the body secretions of the earthworm along with it and also other nutrients from the decomposed materials. • The collected water contains many nutrients readily available to the crop plants.

  6. Composition of Vermiwash Vermiwash: As a component of INM The composition of vermiwash is as follow: pH 7.48 ± 0.03 Organic carbon% 0.008 ± 0.001 Nitrogen% 0.01 ± 0.005 Available phosphorous% 1.69 ± 0.05 Potassium (ppm) 25 ± 2

  7. Micro-nutrients in Vermiwash Vermiwash: As a component of INM

  8. Microbial composition of vermi-wash Vermiwash: As a component of INM

  9. Requirements for the production of Vermiwash Vermiwash: As a component of INM Bucket with tap Earthworms Cow dung

  10. Method of preparation of vermiwash Vermiwash: As a component of INM Drill a hole at the base of the container to fix a tap to it. Select one sufficiently large container made of concrete or plastic bucket .

  11. Method of preparation of Vermiwash Vermiwash: As a component of INM Introduce about 2000 earthworms into the container. A base layer of gravel or broken small pieces of bricks are placed upto height of 10-15 cm. On the coarse sand layer place 40-45 cm pre-decomposed organic wastes and moisten the different layers by using water.

  12. Integrated Vermiwash Unit Vermiwash: As a component of INM Vermiwash unit may be established with vermicomposting beds for large scale production.

  13. Precautions Vermiwash: As a component of INM Water should be poured slowly. Do not mix un-decomposed material while, watering. Do not add any green material. Do not allow to compact the contents.

  14. Let Us Sum Up Vermiwash: As a component of INM Vermiwash, a liquid fertilizer collected after the passage of water through a column of worm activation is very useful as a foliar spray. It contains plant growth hormones like auxins and cytokinin apart from nitrogen, phosphorus, potash and other micro nutrients. It contains nitrogen fixing bacteria like Azotobacter sp., Arobactericum sp. and Rhizobium sp. and some phosphate solublizing bacteria. It acts as a plant tonic and helps to reduce many plant diseases.
