This study was carried out in order to determine the effects of different thermal treatments on quality parameters of vermicompost. For this purpose, three different thermal treatments (0, 70 and 121 degrees C) were used with 3 replicates in this research. Observed parameters are; total organic carbon (TOC), total N, pH, EC, humic-fulvic acid (HFA), C/N, total Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr, coliform bacteria, E.coli, total bacteria, total fungi, enterococcus, salmonella, urease, 13-D glucosidase and alkaline phosphatase enzyme activities.
