This preprint investigates the feasibility of enriching water hyacinth biomass with inorganic and organic nutrients to improve vermicomposting efficiency using Eisenia fetida. The study found that while nutrient additions subtly improved compost quality and biomass consumption, the resulting material lacked sufficient requirements for direct use as a fertilizer. Consequently, the authors suggest utilizing the compost in association with other fertilizers to add moisture and structure to soil. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract In eutrophic environments, aquatic weeds reproduce quickly and occupy large areas, preventing multiple uses of water resources. The use of the biomass of these plants in vermicomposting represents a sustainable alternative. The enrichment of macrophyte biomass during vermicomposting was tested using inorganic NPK solution (1.75% and 3.5%) and organic solution (0.25 g/L and 0.5 g/L) to improve the quality of the compound. Biomass consumption increased as the experiment progressed, reaching the highest values at the end. The experiment without worms remained stable. The influence of E. fetida individuals the vermicomposting process of water hyacinth will depend nutrient addition. The additions improved subtly the compost quality and the consumption of biomass, besides its low-cost, easily obtained and applicable treatment. It does not have the necessary requirements for its use as a fertilizer. However, we suggest the use in association with other fertilizers, adding moisture and structuring to the soil.
