| Declining soil fertility is a challenge to sustainable agricultural production in sub-Saharan Africa with a case of Uganda. However, the large volumes of agricultural waste generated from pineapples can be converted into soil conditioners through vermicomposting. by the use of earthworms. Several types of agricultural waste have been studied extensively as vermicompost feedstock, but little work exists on pineapple waste. The objective of this study was to investigate the suitability of pineapple waste for vermicomposting. To achieve this, an assessment of the physicochemical properties of fresh, pre-composted pineapple waste, and the resultant vermicompost, and determination of the optimal feeding rate and stocking density were performed. The study... |
