Abstract
This paper examines the role of bio-stimulants in vermicomposting as a viable choice to upsurge the impact of bio-stimulants and the vermicomposting in plants growth. Mankind has stepped into the 21st century, which is a century where the human race is thriving towards its peak in terms of technological as well as in terms of sustainability. With this as the aim of the modern generation, prosperous advancement in distinct field happens. The mistakes of the past hope to correct in the near future still aches us to our core. The injudicious use of synthetic products during stages of desperate measures has polluted our soil water and air which are the three factors of our habitat. The need for amendment for these has given rise to an alternative method of crop production and thus organic farming. Vermicomposting, one of the pillars in organic farming as well as organic compounds such as plant bio stimulants on blending brings into existence a much more productive compound
