Vermicomposting is usually performed with one earthworm species. However, use of a consortium of two or more species (Eisenia fetida, Eudrilus eugeniae, and Perionyx excavatus) is rare. Research on optimization of vermicomposting duration is also insufficient. Three earthworm species in various combinations were fed with cowdung mixed biowaste feedstock. Organic C, C/N ratio, compost respiration, coliform count, toxic metals, and alkalinity reduced at maturity; whereas, earthworm biomass, NPK availability, enzyme activity, microbial growth, and humic substances remarkably improved under consortium systems. Thus, the harvest quality was optimized sooner under vermicomposting (40–60 days) than composting (>100 days). Phospho-lipid fatty-acid (PLFA) analyses revealed the enriched variations in microbial community structure and fatty-acid profiles in consortium treated vermicomposts. Overall, the Eisenia+Eudrilus+Perionyx consortium produced the best quality compost in the shortest duration (40–50 days) followed by Eisenia+Eudrilus and Eisenia+Perionyx consortia. Tomato seed germination and root-shoot vigors were significantly greater in consortia mediated systems. Moreover, economic assessment confirmed the advantage of consortium mediated vermitechnology.

com堆肥通常是对一种species进行的。但是，请使用两个或更多个物种的联合体（Eisenia fetida，Eudrilus eugeniae和Perionyx excavatus）很少。优化ver写持续时间的研究也不足。向三种混合的earth物种喂以牛粪混合的生物废物原料。成熟时有机碳，碳/氮比，堆肥呼吸，大肠菌群计数，有毒金属和碱度降低；在联合体系统下，earth的生物量，NPK利用率，酶活性，微生物生长和腐殖质得到了显着改善。因此，在ver堆肥（40-60天）下比堆肥（> 100天）更快地优化了收获质量。磷脂脂肪酸（PLFA）分析显示，在经财团处理的ver虫中，微生物群落结构和脂肪酸谱的丰富变化。总体而言，Eisenia + Eudrilus + Perionyx财团在最短的时间内（40–50天）生产了质量最高的堆肥，其次是Eisenia + Eudrilus和Eisenia + Perionyx财团。在联合体介导的系统中，番茄种子的发芽和根茎活力明显增强。此外，经济评估证实了联盟介导的蠕虫技术的优势。
