An attempt has been made to study the methodologies that are essential parameters in successful vermiculture practices Vermiculture which is the cultivation of worms for agriculture purposes. The literal meaning of vermiculture is worms are used for compost formation and called vermicomposting. In general earthworms are nocturnal and feed on organic matter. Factors such as soil, temperature, moisture, mineral content aeration and availability of food, reproductive potential and adaptability are essential, these earthworms live in different levels in soil strata. perionyx excavatus is tolerant to wide range of temperature found in tropical countries drawida shows high affinity for high moisture conditions dichogaster and lampto mauritius need moderate moisture content. Worms feed on leaf litter, organic humus, dung, compost, effluent, vegetative parts, fruit peels and every type of biologically degradable waste. Majority of worms are organic matter feeders except a carnivorous species of a gastrodrillus. This study shows if proper methodologies were used in vermiculture would gives good results in production of vermicompost.
