NOVELTY - Production of vermicompost from distillation wastes of aromatic/medicinal crops, involves drying distillation waste, transferring the material into compost pits containing cowdung and earthworms, watering the pits, reloading pits with chopped distilled waste, restricting watering after complete degradation of the material, shade drying and sieving harvested compost to remove earthworms.    USE - (M) is useful for producing vermicompost from distillation wastes of aromatic/medicinal crops such as scented geranium (Pelargonium graveolens), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), citronella (C. winterianus) and menthol mint (Mentha arvensis), marigold (Tagetes sp.), patchouli (Pogostemon patchouli) or others such as medicinal/spice crop/plants like Plantago ovata, Papavar someniferum, Coriandrum sativum, Foeniculum vulgarae or others (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - (M) is an efficient method for faster multiplication and production of superior quality vermicompost. The number of worms harvested in the distillate waste is in the range of 6-8 fold. The distillate waste conversions to the compost in a shorter period say 120 days. The nitrogen content, organic carbon content, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients like iron of the vermicompost from the distillate waste are higher than the conventional vermicompost. The nutritive values of the distillate waste are maintained as of the conventional wastes (claimed). No pre-decomposition is required in case of distilled waste as by way of steam or hydro distillation of the material at high pressure there is a complete break down of the material and therefore is easily consumed by the worms. Distillation waste retains their nutritive value except essential oil and therefore compost produced from this contain higher concentration of nutrients. Most of the agro-waste conventionally used for the production of vermicompost like rice or wheat straw or vegetable waste, can be utilized as animal feed. Distillation waste of aromatic crops is not preferred by animals as their feed and has otherwise no economic value and therefore is considered cheap source for vermicompost.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A novel and efficient method (M) for the faster multiplication and production of superior quality vermicompost from the distillation wastes of aromatic/medicinal crops, comprises drying distillation waste obtained after the distillation of herbage in open for 10-72 hours, transferring this material into compost pits containing 7-10 cm layer of partially rotten cowdung and 350475 earthworms/m3, daily watering of the pits to keep the plant material moist and covering them to check the loss of humidity, reloading the pits about 20-30 cm layer with the chopped distilled waste after 30-35 days, restricting watering after complete degradation of the added material, harvesting the dried material and shade drying the same for 4-5 days, and sieving the harvested compost to remove earthworms.    An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a vermicompost obtained from aromatic/medicinal herbage having enhanced nitrogen content than the conventional vermicompost.
