Abstract
Vermicomposting of sericultural wastes was studied in the laboratory during 1995 using Perionyx excavatus. Vermicomposting increased the N content of mulberry Morus indica leaf litter and silkworm larval litter. P content was increased in cow dung and sericultural wastes by vermicomposting. It also enhanced the K, Mn, Zn and Fe content of the mulberry leaf litter.
