These two Species are recommended by, most vermiculture experts, as they have some of the best appetites and breed, very quickly. Int J … However, the molecular data of 16S rDNA could not differentiate in taxa of those two species. Among organic amendments, compost is well known for its effectiveness on agricultural productivity increase but little is diffused about vermicompost efficacy.

Morphology and nucleotide sequence of two genes for the red worm (Pheretima peguana) were distinct from Eudrilus eugeniae but were similar to the blue worm (Perionyx excavatus) and Lao worm (P. excavates) and therefore, it was classified as a new species, Perionyx sp.

Therefore, it may be concluded that significant increase in In all the plant crops, the root length, shoot length, number of twigs, leaves, flowers, pods, grains and total biomass of plants Healthy adults of E. eugeniae were randomly picked from a rabbit waste stock.

Augustine , RoopaS Rao , J. Anbu , K. Chidambara Murthy [1][2], Fecundity, growth, maturation and biomass production were all significantly greater at 25 °C than 15°, 20°or 30°. Thus, a field experiment was carried out under randomized complete block design with three replicates in Côte d’Ivoire by using compost and vermicompost as fertilizers. The clitellum is paler than the rest of the body. cow, sheep, … The African Nightcrawler grows well at a temperature of 24-30 °C (75-86 °F). If you want to produce Worm Castings at an amazing rate, get some African Nightcrawlers today. Throughout its life cycle, E. eugeniae grows much more rapidly than Eisenia fetida, in similar environmental conditions. Physicochemical parameters, heavy metals and total petroleum hydrocarbons were analyzed using AAS. Materials and Methods Vermicomposting studies were carried out with press mud substrate using the earthworms, Eudrilus eugeniae, Lampito mauritii and Perionyx ceylanensis. Cocoons of E. eugeniae hatched in only 12 days at 25 °C, and the worms reach sexual maturity in as little as 35 days after hatching. Mango leaf morphology and anatomy is used to explain the reasons for the mango variety recommendation. Literature. Therefore, present experiment is designed to study the effect of vermiwash Growth characteristics of the earthworm Eudrilus eugeniae and the impac of its activity on soil properties were studied in soil culture. Methanogenesis was ongoing during incubations, and 13 C-labeling of CH4 verified that supplemental [ 13 C]-glucose derived carbon was dissimilated to CH4. produced by Eudrilus eugeniae on the growth of different plant crops like Vigna mungo, Vigna radiata and Sesamum indicum.
