Abstract The study was conducted to assess the feasibility of using Eisenia andrei earthworms for vermicomposting hop remains from a lupulin extraction enterprises brewing industry. Vermicomposting process within 70 days ( Humulus lupulus ) wastes blended with horse manure at five different ratios triplicate in laboratory conditions. Number worms, cocoons, and hatchlings were observed recorded weekly as earthworm biomass, population build-up reproduction biological parameters. results showed an indirect relationship between content growth reproductive performance worms. Notwithstanding this fact, 100% survival occurred all combinations. A 50% blend is suggested ensure optimizing usefulness E. . In addition, moment maximum splendour worm parameters measured achieved around 40 or 50 since beginning test, seeing clear widespread decline that moment.
