What are the uses of earthworms? What are earthworms used for?

It is the soil technician.

Earthworms eat animal feces, soil bacteria, and humus to change within the body, exerting the same ability as fermentation. As a result, the number of harmful bacteria in the soil decreases and the number of beneficial bacteria increases.

Vermicompost has twice as much fertilizer as regular compost, that's for sure!

Charles Darwin (1809-1882) wrote "On the Origin of Species" and spent the rest of his life studying earthworms for the rest of his life. He said that it is called the Earth Dragon, the natural cultivator. Recently known as the Ecosystem Technician, an indicator of soil health.

What are the functions of earthworms?

1. Rich medicinal value, mainly used for the effects of clearing heat, suppressing convulsions, diuresis and channeling. Vermicompost is rich in beneficial microorganisms, which promote plant growth and increase plant resistance to bacteria and diseases. Vegetables and fruits have regained their original flavor and are diverse in amino acids.

When earthworms die, they also exert their nutritional abilities.

Second, earthworm farming can avoid the harm of pesticides and heavy metals.

3. Roles other than the above:

1. Control the ability to control pathogenic bacteria and nematodes.

2. Dig a pit for food, 180 meters a day, improve 9 liters of soil.

3. Earthworm manure contains fertilizer components. Fertilizer composition 2% nitrogen, 1% phosphorus, potassium, 65% organic fertilizer, and trace elements. Yields can be increased. Compost can last for five years (Cuban experience).

4. After the earthworm dies, it is dried with 60% protein by weight and rich in amino acids. In 15 acres of farmland in Cuba, 4 tons of earthworm compost were applied, and the yield increased significantly!

There are many varieties of earthworms, such as the Japanese Ohira II variety, which has the advantage of high reproductive ability, but low cultivation ability.

The advantage of the ringworm is that it is deep cultivation and too much cultivation ability. Do not fertilize and tillage in the orchard. With a body length of more than 23 centimeters and a body width of 1 centimeter, its mobility can make the soil no longer compact. We have visited the orchards and are amazed at how well they can farm.

For example, peach trees can be cultivated in one year to achieve the effect of other fruit trees in three years. Three-year trees are like five-year trees. Didn't get sick, and grew very fast.

The fruit is large, the sweetness is high, and the taste is good, so it can be sold at a good price.

Barren soil flowers turn into fertile soil in a year.

After applying cow dung, remove weeds from the soil and place straw in the soil. After fermenting the manure, it is turned into the soil with a cultivator and then put in earthworms (ringworms).

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.

2. Earthworms can improve the fertility of the soil, and the decaying organic matter and a large number of soil particles eaten by earthworms are excreted from the body through digestion to form feces, which are rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium;

3. The body of earthworms contains a lot of protein and fat, and the nutritional value is very high, which is an excellent protein feed and food;

4. The efficiency of using earthworms to treat organic waste is very high, such as 100 million earthworms can swallow 40 tons of organic waste in a day.

The effects and uses of earthworms are as follows:

2. Earthworms can improve the fertility of the soil, and the decaying organic matter and a large number of soil particles eaten by earthworms are excreted from the body through digestion to form feces, which are rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium;

3. The body of earthworms contains a lot of protein and fat, and the nutritional value is very high, which is an excellent protein feed and food;

4. The use of earthworms to treat organic waste is very efficient.

Loosen the soil and improve it.

Fresh earthworms are best fed to poultry, and earthworm flour can also be mixed with rice, noodles, etc. to be processed into biscuits, bread and other cooked foods.

Earthworm is one of the annelids, there are more than 3,000 species of earthworms in the world, and there are more than 200 species in China. There are varieties such as ring-haired trapping chain worm, Aisheng worm, heterolip worm, and dura worm that are widely distributed in the country. Earthworms are rich in nutrition, multiply, rapid breeding, miscellaneous food, and high yield of artificial breeding.

It can also be used as a precious medicine and high-protein food and feed.

Earthworms dig holes to loosen the soil, decompose organic matter, create good conditions for the growth and reproduction of soil microorganisms, and play a special role in soil improvement, eliminating public pollution, protecting the ecological environment, in material cycle, biodiversity, etc.

The functions of earthworms in the ecosystem are mainly manifested in:

1. Effects on key processes such as soil organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling.

Earthworms are rich in various enzymes, which make them have the special ability to transform and transform organic matter, and decompose soil minerals to a certain extent, and convert them into admissible compounds such as ammonia, carbonic acid, urea, urine and fast-acting phosphorus and potassium mineral nutrients that are easy to use by plants.

2. Influence on soil physical and chemical properties.

Earthworm activities are conducive to the sustainable utilization of soil resources by improving soil chemical properties, enriching soil humus, decomposing organic matter synergistically between earthworms and microorganisms, and promoting C, N and P cycles. Earthworms have strong reproductive ability, short reproductive cycle, and developed digestive system, and their soil turning volume cannot be ignored, which greatly promotes the integration of soil and fertilizer.

At the same time, most of the nutrients converted by the earthworm intestine are closely compounded with the soil, and after discharge, they become nutrient-rich and high-quality aggregate structures in the soil. These aggregate structures have the characteristics of looseness, porousness, strong water stability and more effective nutrients, which improve the aeration and permeability of the soil, the ability to store water and fertilizer, and the efficiency of water resource use.

2. Earthworms can improve the fertility of the soil, and the decaying organic matter and a large number of soil particles eaten by earthworms are excreted from the body through digestion to form feces, which are rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium;

3. The body of earthworms contains a lot of protein and fat, and the nutritional value is very high.

4. The efficiency of using earthworms to treat organic waste is very high, such as 100 million earthworms can swallow 40 tons of organic waste in one day.

1. Earthworms travel through the soil and swallow the soil, which can loosen the soil and improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil. The soil that passes through the earthworm digestion 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 filial piety 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.

1.Ecological and environmental protection.

Earthworms play an extremely important role in soil ecosystems. They can increase the decomposition and decay of organic matter in the soil, promote soil aeration and permeability, and release large amounts of nutrients. These effects help to improve soil quality and protect the ecological environment.

2.Fishery production.

Earthworms are commonly used bait in fishery production. They are rich in protein and vitamins and are widely used in the breeding and harvesting of fish. Earthworms are a very important resource in fisheries around the world.

3.Health care.

The secretions of earthworms contain a variety of bioactive substances, such as antimicrobials, peptides and polyphenols. These substances help in antibacterial, antipyretic, analgesic and promote wound healing. Therefore, earthworm secretions are widely used in the field of medicine and health care.

4.Biofertilizer production.

Earthworms digest organic matter, converting them into nutrient-rich feces. This manure is used as an excellent organic fertilizer in agricultural production, which can improve soil quality, increase the nutrient content of the soil and the number of microorganisms, and provide sufficient nutrients for plants.

5.Laboratory research.

Earthworms are relatively simple biological models that have a wide range of applications in many biology laboratories. For example, researchers can use earthworms to observe their behavior, metabolism, and nervous system function, which can help us better understand the nature and evolution of life.

6.Feed production.

In addition to being used as bait in fisheries, earthworms can also be used as high-protein feed for other livestock or poultry. For example, earthworms can be used in the production of feed for chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, etc., to increase their protein intake and growth rate.

7.Biological control of pests.

Earthworms can also be used to control the reproduction and breeding of some pests. Some insects such as aphids and mosquitoes are the main food of earthworms, and when they are in large numbers, earthworms will play a certain biological control or poor role to ensure the ecological balance in agricultural production.

Summary. To sum up, earthworms are very versatile, and their contribution to the environment and humans cannot be ignored. I hope that everyone can pay more attention to the small creature of earthworms, and make our ecological environment better when it continues to grow and develop.
