Vermicompost has unfolded quicker and cheaper solutions to social, economic and environmental problems challenging the human society from waste management to land and soil remediation, safe and sustainable food production. In the present study an attempt has been made to find out if supplementation with probiotics such as Lactobacillus sporogenes, essential microbes and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, could enhance the vermicomposting process and improve nutrient levels in compost. Different waste such as cowdung, leaf litter, flower waste and onion garlic waste were used. In each waste four experiments with the probiotics, L. sporogenes, Essential microbes and S. cerevisiae were added and the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium levels were analyzed using standard procedures. The result is discussed in the light of enhancement of NPK level by supplementation with probiotics.
