Abstract:

his study identifies the utilization of common weed Chenopodium murale as raw material for vermiculturing. Growth and cocoon production in each mixture was recorded weekly for 18 weeks. Significant variations in food preference were observed in worm when the cattle dung was mixed with weed in different combination. The present study revealed that addition of weed in cow dung not only enhanced the growth of the worm but also increased cocoon production thus providing a possible tool towards proper utilization of weed for production of value added product.
