Vermiculture farming

Green Orchid is Revolutionising Vermiculture Farming in Northeast India

Green Orchid is the pioneer of vermiculture farming in northeast India. Vermiculture refers to the artificial rearing of earthworms. Our vermiculture farms produce large quantities of vermicompost. Vermicompost is the excreta of earthworms and contains humus in abundance. 

In our farms, the earthworms consume yard manure and cow dung and produce vermicompost. Vermiculture is the most sustainable way to increase the fertility of lands for crop production. Our farm also uses non-toxic solid and liquid wastes to feed the earthworms. 

Conversion of garbage into compost earthworms in our farms addresses Assam’s rising waste management issues. Earthworms convert the garbage into valuable manure and keep the environment healthy. For more details on our vermiculture farms in Assam, consult with us. 

We are the Top Sustainable Vermiculture Farm India

Earthworms, the best friend of farmers, have been playing their role to perfection for a long. They release the organic nutrients from the dead tissues back into the soil, thereby boosting crop production. In organic farming, vermicompost plays a crucial role. 

Vermiculture farming is the process of producing compost using worms. At Green Orchid, we use a wide variety of worms for vermicompost. But primarily, we rear earthworms as their compost is rich in organic nutrients. 

The compost derived from worms is an excellent soil conditioner. It is also a natural fertiliser. Our vermiculture farm India supplies vermicompost to leading organic farmlands in Guwahati. Vermicompost is also widely used in vertical farming. Get more details about our vermiculture farming in India by consulting with us.    

The Objectives of our Earthworm Farming Processes 

The main objective of farming earthworms is to produce compost in large quantities. The organic manure derived from the earthworms of our farm is of exceptional quality. We leverage wastes from agricultural lands, dairy farms, and animal farms for producing vermicompost. 

More than half of Assam’s farmers are extensively dependent on chemical fertilisers. Though effective, chemical fertilisers have various types of shortcomings. Excessive use of chemical fertilisers may enter the food chain and cause chronic illnesses. 

At Green Orchid, we are promoting vermiculture farming in Assam to curb the excessive use of fertilisers for plant growth. Vermicompost is high in water-soluble organic nutrients and acts as an excellent manure. Our vermiculture farm is already supplying large quantities of vermicompost to organic farms across India. With earthworm farming, we are promoting the cause of using organic manure in northeast India.   

The Types of Earthworms we Use for Vermiculture

Our vermiculture farm in Assam utilises various types of earthworms like:

Epigeic Earthworms

  • These earthworms thrive on the soil’s surface and convert organic waste into humus quickly
  • They have a high metabolic activity
  • These earthworms have a higher rate of reproduction

Diageic Earthworms 

  • They live deep in the soil
  • We collect organic litter from the soil’s surface
  • They help loosen the soil

Endogeic Earthworms 

  • These earthworms live just below the topsoil
  • They feed on organic matter in large quantities
  • They help in optimising the soil texture and structure

Comprehensive Milk Filtration Techniques

Our sustainable dairy farming business plan is letting us revolutionise Assam’s dairy sector. We deploy a wide variety of milk filtration techniques. We ensure that the bottled milk doesn’t contain any type of particulate. Here are some of the typical milk filtration techniques used by us.

  • Reverse Osmosis
  • Microfiltration
  • Ultrafiltration
  • Nanofiltration

Benefits of Vermicompost for Crops 

Vermicompost keeps the pathogens present in the soil from becoming virulent and attacking crops. At Green Orchid, we are spreading awareness of how to start vermiculture in Assam. Here are some of the other benefits associated with vermiculture. 

Suppresses Pests 

Vermicompost can help suppress pests and control the usage of chemical pesticides in farmlands. 

Excellent Water Retention Capabilities 

Vermicompost has an impressive water retention capability. In areas with depleted water sources, it can be used effectively. 

Nutrient Delivery 

Compared to traditional compost, vermicompost has higher levels of plant-available nutrients. 

 

We are driven by our values of promoting sustainable farming practices. Know how to start vermiculture in Assam by seeking an appointment with us.
