Both are good. Nutrient content is better in vermicompost but it is not always available in many places. In that situation compost is better and both have very good effect on soil physico-chemical properties

Md. Abul Kalam Azad, both compost and vermicompost offer agronomic benefits, but there are some differences that are very important to take into consideration. Composting, which is the aerobic degradation of waste in a controlled environment (and not fermentation, which is anaerobic), can manage to attain high temperatures, staying above 50 to 60 °C for a few days/weeks, thus destroying pathogens and seeds. This temperature is not reached during vermicomposting, seeing how the process is generally operated between 12 °C and 25 °C (the range at which earthworms are comfortable). As such, there still remains important doubt about the efficiency of pathogen reduction during vermicomposting, and the presence of seeds can be unwanted. Therefore, depending on your substrate to be (vermi)composted, this should be an important consideration.

Secondly, nutrient transformation and loss can be different between both processes. Vermicomposting, due to the lower temperature, tends to have lower nitrogen loss than composting. Furthermore, vermicompost tends to have higher levels of accessible nutrients and carbon due to the byproducts of the worms (mucus, urine). Therefore, as stated by Debasish Borah , vermicomposts can have better nutrient contents (though this also depends on the process, substrate, and many operating parameters).

The question cannot simply be answered by looking at the product (compost vs vermicompost), but instead focusing on the entire waste valorization and agriculture train (availability and type of organic matter, quantity, soil requirements, etc.). As is often the case, both have their unique benefits and drawbacks.

We discuss this briefly in our following chapter:

Chapter Nutrient and Carbon Recovery from Organic Wastes

I hope this helps!

Vermicompost has many advantages over conventional compost.  These include the following:

• More nutrients
• Can be done indoors or out with little space required
• Creates compost faster
• Requires less work (once it is set up)

Md. Abul Kalam Azad, both are good. Vermicompost need earthworm and some technical knowledge.

Both are good sources of nutrients. Comparatively, vermicompost contains more nutrients as compared to compost. But economic gain always should be a focal point while using the source of nutrients under organic management. You can go through the following article it might be useful to you.Article Impact of land configuration and organic nutrient management...

Hola. Tengo entendido que el vermicimpostaje es más rápido, aunque el producto final no es esteril. Pienso que dependerá del tipo de residuos que se disponga, por cuestiones sanitarias. Otra opción es hacer un sistema mixto.

Ideally, a combination of the two in the right proportion.

Vermicompost is better for agricultural use.

Vermicompost used in agricultural products better results for every time.

Then micro and macro nutrients components highly recommend this product.Vermicompost used in agricultural products better results for every time.

This question fascinates me. Which is more loaded with nutrients, the vermicast which is the worm's fecal matter, or the vermicompost which are still loaded with worms?

I would say vermicompost. As composting is a natural and slow process which does the same work as vermicompost. But in vermicompost the matter passes thorugh the earthworm gut which is fully loaded with microbes that facilitates the fast decomposition of organic matter into their simplest form, which plant roots can easily uptake. Studies have shown that vericompost is more rich in nutrient and full of helpful microbes than surrounding soil and compost.

I'm totally with the vermicompost choice for agricultural purposes and the reason behind that is the existence of vermicompost which facilitates the breakdown of heavy metals in addition to it's antibiotic properties

Vermicompost better than compost

I agree M. L. Dotaniya Sir, vermicompost is better as compared to compost.

In my practical experience there is no large difference in nutrient concentration s of both the materials. Actually both materials supply organic matter to the soil which has a profound influence on soil properties and nutrient availability. Compost is much cheaper than vermicomost and you can apply it at higher rates keeping cost of vermicomost in view. to increase the soil organic matter.

Vermicompost is better than compost due to its higher nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content, and its ability to improve the soil structure, and to increase its water-holding capacity.

Vermicompost is ideal organic manure for better growth and yield of many plants. It can increase the production of crops and prevent them from harmful pests without polluting the environment.

I'm currently deeply interested about this question. And It seems that all the interesting answers provided in this discussion lake of bibliography. I found an old discussion (2014) that provide these ressources : https://www.researchgate.net/post/Vermi-compost-vs-thermo-compost-which-one-is-better-as-a-soil-amendment

It seems that studies have not so clearly concluded that one is better from another.

If anyone have found other strong studies that clearly compare compost and vermicompost, I would be very interested.

Suppose one ton of each compst and vermicompost is produced from the same kind and quantity of material, then both will supply same quantity of organic matter to the soil. There may be a a slightly higher concentration of nutrients and growth substances in the vermicomst and lower time of production.compared to compost. Both product will have not a significant influence on plant nutrition and both will improve soil physical conditions at the same level. However, keeping in view cost of production, compost will be better and time of production, vermicomst will be better when applied at the same dosages. If a farmer applies compost at a double dosage than the vermicomst keeping into consideration cost of production, then think which will be better, you can answer without conducting a trial.

Vermicompost is better and highly recommend because it's contains most macronutrients, and its nutrient composition is often greater than the regular garden soil. Vermicomposting increases the fertility and water-resistance of the soil and helps in germination, plant growth, and crop yield. They nurtures soil with plant growth hormones such as auxins, gibberellic acid, etc
