The Vermicompost Ikai under the Agriculture Department Rajasthan government provides subsidies to farmers. Through the organic manure method, good quality manure can be prepared in a very short time under normal temperatures in which entire species of earthworms are used. In this, the cellulose and microorganisms present in the intestines of earthworms together decompose the ingested organic matter very rapidly. Due to the effect of their digestive process and the combined mixture of organic matter, these earthworms leave out a waste material which is called vermicomposting and these Manure pits are not found without earthworms.
