In this paper , an experimental analysis of the composition microflora mucus secretions California worm (Eisenia fetida)was carried out, when they were cultivated on a mixture plant residues and rabbit droppings, relationship with itself was revealed under conditions system consideration, species percentage ratio microbial established, number determined. It is shown that retains its properties ...

Cow dung is a valuable source of manure to improve soil quality. This study aims enhance the quality by decreasing diesel contamination in through vermicomposting cow and nanoparticles ZnO. Using powder made from dung, zinc ions may be easily converted into ZnO nanoparticles. To increase soil, Eisenia fetida mixed with was used. These were characterized FT-IR, SEM, TEM. The impure soils examine...

Most studies investigating the effects of earthworms on microorganisms have focused on the changes before and after vermicomposting rather than those that occur throughout the process. In the present study, we designed continuous feeding reactors in which new layers of pig slurry (1.5 and 3 kg) were added sequentially to form an age gradient inside the reactors in order to evaluate the impact o...

Organic waste posses a serious environmental problem globally. This can be solved by combination of effective technologies like Biodung composting and Vermitech (incorporating earthworms for the production of vermicompost). The present work was carried out during the year 2006-2007 at University of Guyana, Georgetown to recycle grass clippings, water hyacinth and cattle dung by using Eisenia fe...

Glyphosate (GPS) and copper (Cu) are common pollutants in soils, and commonly co-exist. Due to the chemical structure of GPS, it can form complexes of heavy metals and interface their bioavailability in soil environment. In order to explore the interactions between GPS and Cu, subacute toxicity tests of Cu and GPS on soil invertebrate earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were conducted. The relative wei...
