Abstract
The possibility of vermicomposting sugarcane bagasse waste as a sustainable method to raise soil fertility and plant productivity is examined in this study. Eudrilus eugeniae was used to turn sugar industrial waste into nutrient-rich vermicompost, which was then used in fenugreek farming. When compared to control and vegetable waste treatments, the results showed a significant improvement in plant growth characteristics such as height, root length, blooming duration, and overall biomass. Analyses of the soil revealed elevated levels of potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen, and organic matter. Additionally, vermicompost improved plant disease resistance. These results demonstrate that sugarcane bagasse vermicomposting is an environmentally beneficial substitute for chemical fertilizers, promoting both efficient industrial waste management and sustainable agriculture.
