Irrigation frequency on growth of red earthworm (Eisenia spp) and vermicompost chemical parameters

In order to evaluate the effect of irrigation frequency on red earthworm’s growth and chemistry properties of vermicompost obtained, an experiment was performed, in an area classified as tropical dry forest. Frequency tested were None (N), once (U) and twice (D) a week. 2000 (Eisenia spp) earthworms/m 2 with initial biomass of 199.6 0 ± 7.39 mg/earthworm, were located in concrete containers of 1m
