Indigenous approach in organic solid waste management in Guyana (South America) Ansari Abdullah Adil Department of Biology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Guyana, Turkeyen campus, Georgetown, Guyana, South America *Email of corresponding author: ansari_adil@hotmail.com
Online published on 15 October, 2015. Summary An experiment was carried out during the year 2006–2007 at University of Guyana, Georgetown to recycle grass clippings, water hyacinth and cattle dung by using Eisenia fetida-a locally available surface species of earthworm. The results indicated that the organic waste (grass clippings and water hyacinth) were successfully processed through partial biodung composting and vermicomposting during the period of 60 days. Temperature during biodung composting showed two peaks resulting in destruction of harmful microbes. Vermicomposting resulted in production of nutrient-enriched vermicompost. Top Keywords Biodung composting, Earthworms, Organic waste, Vermicompost, Vermitech. Top | |
