The highest adoption gap (62.09%) observed for filling beds to recommended level followed by keeping beds from unwanted plants (52.10%) and keeping vermicompost beds away from sunlight (50.54%). The lowest adoption gap is observed for use of thick layer of cow dung to cover agricultural waste (30.21%), sprinkling water on Beds regularly (30.21%), separating earthworms(31.63%) and using vermicompost in different crops including vegetables and fruits (27.57%)
