Incidencia de cuatro sustratos sobre la reproducción de Eisenia foetida en un módulo de lombricultura urbano, provincia del Guayas.

Abstract

The following work evaluated the incidence of four types of substrates on the reproduction of Eisenia foetida in an urban vermicompost module. Four repetitions per treatment and two controls per week of humidity, pH and temperature of the medium in which the worms were developed were performed. 100 worms were placed in each repetition and the total juveniles and adults were counted at 80 days. Using the Infostat statistical package, it was determined that the type of substrate is related to the number of new worms per treatment, with the treatments T1 (kitchen food waste) and T3 (coffee grounds) being the best results.
