摘要: Observations in outdoor culture beds indicated that food availability and frequency of feeding influenced worm density. In order to study the role status on growth reproduction Eisenia fetida, pre-clitellate specimens were kept for 180 days under controlled conditions. A control group was regularly provided with freshly produced cattle manure while experimental groups fed only sporadically at some stage even starved by removing substrate. Worm growth, maturation, cocoon production monitored. The highlighted this study. Both correlated closely pattern followed. This also showed produced, urine-free, proved an excellent source it added such a way as prevent development anaerobic Regular gave high rates.
