Growth and Reproduction of Eisenia Foetida in Various Animal Wastes during Vermicomposting
The effect of various animal wastes on growth and reproduction of an epigeic earthworm Eisenia foetida was studied under identical laboratory conditions. For each waste, viz., cow, buffalo, horse, donkey, sheep, goat and camel, five hatchlings per 100 g of waste were inoculated and monitored for biomass gain, mortality, sexual maturity, cocoons production periodically for 15 weeks. No mortality...
متن کاملComparative Studies on the Levels of Vitamins during Vermicomposting of Fruit Wastes by Eudrilus Eugeniae and Eisenia Fetida
Organic wastes are extensively increasing with increased human populations, intensive agriculture and industrialization. The disposal of wastes has become important for a healthy quality of environment. In this regard recycling of utilizable organic wastes is feasible. The recycling of wastes through vermicomposting reduces problems of disposal of organic wastes. Vermicomposting, a novel techni...
متن کاملAccumulation of methylmercury in the earthworm, Eisenia foetida, and its effect on regeneration.
The environmental contaminants mercury and methylmercury cause teratogenic, nervous, and renal damage in mammals (Venugopal and Luckey 1978). Methylmercury interferes with the normal development of tadpoles (Chang et al. 1974) and with the regeneration of fins in fish (Weis and Weis 1978) and limbs in crabs (Callahan and Weis 1983). Because mercury is highly toxic, it has been measured in a wid...
متن کاملEffects of transgenic Bt+CpTI cotton on the growth and reproduction of earthworm Eisenia foetida.
With the expansion of the planted area of transgenic Bt+CpTI cotton, the effects of this crop on non-target organisms in soil, including earthworms, are becoming the most important aspect of their ecological risk assessment. Laboratory toxicity studies were conducted to determine the effects of transgenic Bt+CpTI cotton leaves, containing high concentrations of the Bt toxin and cowpea trypsin i...
متن کاملEffects of Dichlorovos Organophosphate on Growth, Reproduction, and Avoidance Behavior of Earthworm Eisenia foetida
Background: The indispensable use of agrochemicals has created serious threats for earthworms abundance and their population therefore, several earthworm protocols have gained acceptance for use in tests to assess the effects of soil chemicals on soil organisms. Dichlorovos, an organophosphorus pesticide, is one of the widely used pesticides in agricultural fields of M.P., Central India. The ...
