Vermicompost technology: An alternative solution for the sustainable agriculture in the cold arid region of Ladakh Yangchan J*, Namgyal D High Mountain Arid Agriculture Research Institute, Leh (SKUAST-K), 194101, India *Corresponding Author's Email: jigmet_chan@yahoo.co.in
Online published on 28 March, 2024. Abstract The present study was conducted at PFDC High Mountain Arid Agriculture Research Institute Stakna Leh. The purpose of this study was to use advance vermicomposting technique of plain because of harsh climatic conditions of Ladakh as its temperature varies from -30 °C to +35 °C and thus the organic compost is not properly decomposed. This advance vermicomposting technology of plain area was replicated to hilly areas, by applying different methodology procedure. This technique reduced mortality of worms by 80% under winter conditions and able to increase decomposing rate from 40% to 90% which resulted in reducing its time from 12month to 4 month for vermicompost. Further, the composition of macro and micro nutrients (0.50-1.61 %) N, (0.19-1.02%) P and (0.15-0.70%K) in plain area, and (1.79-2.63%) N, (0.17-1.03)P,( 09-0.162) K in cold arid region also varied. Improved technique improved socioeconomic status of farmers and became an alternative solution for sustainable agriculture income generation.
