What are the characteristics of earthworms, what are the advantages of earthworms

Because there are many varieties of earthworms, the living environment and the food they like to eat are also different, so their living habits are also slightly different, but they like temperature, moisture, dark, breathable, light, salt, shock, and spicy food are common, and they are introduced here one by one for the reference of farmers.

1. Likes temperature and is afraid of cold and heat.

Earthworms like to live in warm environments, and they are afraid of both cold and heat. In 0 -5 dormant, 32 or more stop growing, die above 40, the appropriate temperature is 15 -30, the best temperature is 20-25, we want to obtain good breeding benefits, it is necessary to maintain the best temperature of 20-25 breeding environment all year round.

2. Likes moisture and is afraid of soaking.

Earthworms prefer to live in a humid environment and should not be too dry, but they should not be too wet to soak (except for water earthworms). The humidity of the substrate includes two aspects, one is the humidity of the base soil, the other is the humidity of the air humidity, the humidity of the general substrate is required to be 40%-60%, (it is good to hold the fingers of the base soil to see the water and not to flow down), and the relative humidity of the air is adjusted to 60%-80% as well.

3. Likes dark and is afraid of light.

Earthworms like to live in the dark, usually burrowing under the soil layer to feed, burrowing into the base material to feed, and some crawl out of the ground to feed at night. Because he is afraid of light, he has developed the habit of lying day and night. Although earthworms have no eyes and cannot see light, their whole body is full of photoreceptor organs, and strong light is extremely unfavorable to the growth and reproduction of earthworms, so earthworms are always active in the dark, and the breeding environment should be selected in a dark place.

4. Likes sweet and is afraid of spicy.

Earthworms like to eat sour, sweet and fishy ingredients, such as rotten tomatoes, watermelon rinds, rotten fruits, fish washing water, etc. The most afraid of eating spicy food, such as green onions, garlic, chili peppers, etc., should be fed with the city's domestic garbage earthworms should pick out the spicy food and then feed.

5. Quiet and shock-resistant.

Earthworms prefer to live in a quiet environment and are most afraid of vibrations. Farms should be located in quiet places. Do not shake or frequently turn the base soil up and down. Frequent vibration will adversely affect the growth and reproduction of earthworms.

6. Acid-loving and salt-inducing.

Earthworms prefer to live in acidic or neutral soils, or in environments with water sources, and are most afraid of approaching saline, alkaline soils, or saline water sources. If you encounter saline soil or water sources, adjust the pH. The alkali should be adjusted with ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and it can also be adjusted with 2% carcoal water, otherwise the earthworm can not survive.

Summary. Benefits of earthworms 1. Earthworms can loosen soil, improve soil, improve fertility, and promote agricultural production.

2. Earthworms feed on animal and plant detritus in the soil, often burrow in the ground, turn the soil loose, make water and fertilizer easy to enter and improve the fertility of the soil, and can also promote acidic or alkaline soil to become neutral soil, increase phosphorus and other available components, so that the soil is suitable for the growth of crops.

3. Because earthworms can absorb trace metals such as mercury, lead and copper in the soil, the accumulation of such metal elements in the earthworm is 10 times that of the external content. As a result, some scientists believe that earthworms can be used as monitoring animals for heavy metal contamination in soil.

4. Because earthworms are rich in protein, they can be used as feed for poultry and are the favorite "meat" food of chickens and ducks.

5. Earthworms can secrete a special enzyme that can decompose proteins, fats and wood fibers, so leaves, straw, livestock and poultry manure, domestic garbage, activated sludge and papermaking, and food industry scraps can be its food. Earthworms are able to eliminate environmental pollution to a certain extent.
