EİSENİA FOETİDA (RED CALİFORNİA WORM) AND FERTILIZER

Worms are the unique life form that has survived since ancient times. While living under the earth, they have established a strong immune system against pathogens that have been exposed for millions of years.

 

Worm fertilizer derived from the worms' feces is an organic fertilizer type that provides resistance to diseases in the root and around root, and increases the yield, durability and quality of vegetables, fruits and plants. The worms pass the body fluids (sylomic liquid) which are present on their digestive systems and protect them, which provide resistance to pathogens in the plants. In the digestive system of worms, there are numerous plant beneficial microorganisms, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, mycorrhizalfungi, natural growth hormones and enzymes that will produce antibiotic effects. Fertilizing enzymes and dense plant nutrients provide healthy and rapid growth in plants.

 

By virtue of micro-organisms, enzymes, plant nutrients, and sodomic liquid; high quality products are obtained by organic worm fertilization which enrich soil with organic matter, regulate ph balance and biological structure of soil, improve physical structure. The micronutrients in organic wastes passing through the digestive system of worms are easily chelated by plants since they are naturally chelated out and colloidal.

 

This fertilizer also contains organic compounds that accelerate plant growth such as amino acids, enzymes, humic acid, fulvicacid, and thus increases phytohormone activity and resistance to diseases when applied to plants. Biohumus also contains rhizobium bacteria that make a symbiotic nitrogen binding and asymbiotic nitrogen binding bacteria. For this reason, it increases the nitrogen gain when applied to the soil. With all these features, the worm-fertilizer is evaluated, produced and marketed as biological fertilizer material.

 

 

EYESENIA FOETİDA (RED CALIFORNIA WORM)

 

It was first produced in California. It is red. It is called the Red California worm because of its place and colour.

 

* They die in a short time when they are exposed to sunlight.

* More nuts than other worm species.

* Their mobility is very high.

* They can open more galleries under the soil, and thanks to these galleries they are able to open the compost in a fast way to become a ferment.

* They protect themselves from pathogens through the secretion fluid they secrete.

* Foods are removed by enzymes and sodomic liquids and mixed into their feces.

* They multiply very fast. They can double their numbers in six months.

* They multiply by ovulation.

The number of digestive enzymes in the digestive system is high. This ensures that a quality fertilizer is obtained.

* They are fed with fermented cattle grains and domestic wastes.

* They can be hobbies at home. For example, their favourite foods are tea leaves and coffee grounds. Acidic foods such as salads, oranges and apples can cause them to die.

* They can live an average of 5 years under appropriate conditions.

1000 worms can produce about 0.5 kilograms of worm-fertilizer per day.

* They can live in temperatures between 0 degrees and 40 degrees.

* Ideal ambient temperature is 20 degrees for keeping their lives, producing and multiplying.

 

Why Eisenia Foetida Worm? Soil worms are also a good ventilator, but since these worms are bigger they cannot move quickly and do not egest all of the nutrients as stools. They use a part for their own needs because they are a great creature. They do not reproduce and produce quickly. However, the Eisenia Foetidaworms are thinner culture worms and their mobility is greater. They have more fertility and multiply rapidly.
