Abstract This study aims to determine the quality of agricultural soil by using amendments like Jeevamrutha, Vermicompost, Earthworm (Eudriluseugeniae) and their combination Eudriluseugeniaeis added along with Jeevamrutha, Vermicompost and their combined nature in 8 composting pits respectively and decomposition done for Two months. It was found that heavy metal concentration decreased in the post-treated Industrial area sewage soil with amendments such as Jeevamruatha, Vermicompost and their combined nature along with Earthworm (Eudriluseugeniae) compared with pre-treated Industrial area sewage soil. High concentration of heavy metals found in Eudriluseugeniaeearthworm body before subjecting it to decomposition, whereas the post treated Earthworms (Eudriluseugeniae) showed less amount of Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in earthworm body.The post treated industrial area sewage soil showed decreased earthworm density compared to pre-treated soil. Among the the post-treated soil earthworm density is slightly increased in industrial area sewage soil treated with Vermicompost. It was observed that Microbial activity (colony count) increased in the post treated industrial area sewage soil, by Addition of amendments such as Jeevamrutha, Vermicompost, and combination of both show better growth of microbial colony in soil.
Industrial area sewage earthworms identified where they belonged to Megascolecidae family. High concentration of heavy metals found in that IAS soil earthworm body (Megascolecidae family) indicating the toxicity and pollution caused by the industry to soil.
Keywords Keywords: Jeevamrutha, Vermicomposting, Earthworms, Industrial area soil, Agriculture area soil, heavy metals.
