Batch digestion of vegetable waste slurry was carried out in the laboratory using 2.5L capacity bottle reactors for 60 days at ambient conditions. The biogas yield from vegetable waste over the length of the digestion time was observed to be 0.391L/g of VS fed. The methane content of the biogas generated from the reactors was in the range of 67% during the first ten days and then remained in the range of 68%-70% for the remaining period.
