Bioconversion of solid waste into nutritional rich product for plants by using Eudrilus eugeniae

Rise in human population and financial growth complicated the solid waste disposal worldwide and increase the possibilities of dispersion of diseases. This issue can only be solved through fusion of eco-friendly efficient techniques. In the present study, the efficacy of Eudrilus eugeniae has been t...
