What does an earthworm do? What is the role of an earthworm?

Earthworm is a kind of invertebrate, belonging to the oligochaetae class of the phylum Annelids, there are many kinds of earthworms, there are more than 3,000 species in the world, and there are more than 200 species in China. Common earthworm species are ringworms, dura worms, etc. Earthworms are rich in nutrients and have the advantages of fast reproduction, so in traditional Chinese medicine, earthworms can be used as a medicinal material, and it also plays a very important role in ecology, and has a close relationship with microorganisms in the environment and soil health.

The details are as follows. > earthworm, also known as Dilong, is often used as a traditional Chinese medicine for patients in traditional Chinese medicine. For example, it has the effect of lowering blood pressure, so it can be used for high blood pressure; As a drug, earthworms can activate the meridians, so they can be used for the sequelae of stroke patients; Earthworms can also be used in patients with abnormal urination** because earthworms have a diuretic effect; In addition, earthworms also have anti-cancer, cough and asthma effects, and have a good effect on some respiratory diseases.

Earthworms play the role of consumers and decomposers in the food chain, it can decompose the leaves of plants in the environment, and decompose them into substances that can be used by other organisms, especially microorganisms, so the activity of microorganisms will directly affect the normal growth and development of plants, so small earthworms play a huge role in the stability of the entire ecosystem.

Earthworm manure is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which can increase the fertility of the soil and make it more suitable for the growth of crops. In addition, the special physical properties of earthworms allow them to neutralize soil acidity and alkalinity, which means that earthworms have a direct impact on soil health. At the same time, the earthworm has a moist body wall, multiple body segments, and bristles, and its special body structure makes it have the effect of loosening the soil, which can increase the oxygen content in the soil, which is conducive to the respiration and growth of plant root cells, so earthworms can be said to be a natural fertilizer.

Earthworms have high content of unsaturated fatty acids and low content of saturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, which has the effects of anti-cancer, blood pressure, and beauty, which is very suitable for the nutritional fashion pursued by modern people, and also has a unique tridecanoic acid that is different from other animals. Earthworms raised on agricultural and sideline products can be used as a safe food resource with high nutrition.

Earthworms have the effect of loosening the soil, and the role of earthworms is to keep the soil from compaction, which is conducive to the emergence rate and germination rate, so that plants can grow better.

Earthworms can act as a loosening of the soil, making the soil more breathable and also promoting the growth of plant roots.

Earthworm is a very useful Chinese medicinal material as a traditional Chinese medicine. In the soil, he will dredge the soil and the air in the soil through activities to make the plants grow better.

1. Earthworms feed on animal and plant detritus in the soil, and often drill holes in the ground to loosen the soil, so that water and fertilizer are easy to enter and improve the fertility of the soil, which is conducive to the growth of plants. Earthworms can be used as feed for poultry and are the preferred "meat" food of chickens and ducks; Earthworms are also widely adapted to freshwater fishing, and are suitable bait for various waters, fish, and climate.

2. Earthworms are decomposers, and for humans, it can decompose the organic waste produced by humans and turn it into inorganic matter for plants and other uses. Therefore, if there are earthworms in the yard, it will grow better if you grow vegetables or flowers.

3. Due to the earthworm's digging and omnivorous nature, the vermicompost discharged by earthworms in each hectare of land can reach dozens to hundreds of tons every year. Humus-rich vermicompost is an excellent fertilizer for plant growth. The activities of earthworms can also improve the soil, accelerate the decomposition of organic matter in the soil, and restore and maintain the ecological balance of the soil.

1. Earthworms can promote the transformation of soil substances: earthworms play a certain role in the transformation of soil substances.

2. Earthworms have a strong ability to regenerate: after being injured or cut off, they will produce an embryo-like mesenchymal cell, which can be differentiated into various tissues, as long as it is not cut off from the front of the head, it is generally easy to regenerate.

3. Can dispose of garbage: some people have counted that every 100,000 earthworms can excrete six or seven tons of manure in a year, and the eating habits of earthworms are more complex.

<>1. Earthworms travel through the soil and devour the soil, which can loosen the soil and improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil. The soil that passes through the earthworm digestive tube is discharged into vermicompost, which contains several times higher nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium than ordinary soil, and is a high-efficiency organic fertilizer. Vermicompost can also increase humus, which plays a great role in the formation of soil aggregate structure.

2. Earthworm is a kind of animal protein added feed, which has an obvious effect on the yield improvement of poultry, livestock and fish.

3. Earthworms contain delotonin, a variety of amino acids, vitamins, etc., which have the functions of antipyretic, sedative, asthmatic, antihypertensive, diuretic, etc., and have been used as medicine since ancient times.

4. Earthworms have a great ability to swallow soil and organic matter, and earthworms can be used to treat urban organic waste, protect the environment, prevent pollution, turn harm into profit, and inhibit public pollution.

5. Earthworms can be used to make food after processing, and earthworms are used to make biscuits and bread abroad.
