The role of earthworm cultivation in sustaining modern agricultural productivity
Authors
V Mohan Raj
Abstract
Within global agricultural landscapes, earthworms represent a critical component of soil biodiversity, frequently constituting the largest share of invertebrate biomass in both tropical and temperate zones. Earth worm farming, involves raising specific species of worms to transform organic waste into high-quality compost. This biotechnological process turns discarded materials into nutrient-dense soil amendments that optimize the chemical, biological, and physical foundation of the earth. By introducing worm castings into the soil, growers can naturally boost plant vitality and soil structure. Ultimately, this practice leads to higher crop yields and better produce quality, offering a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers that often degrade environmental health and human well-being.
