Sewage Sludge-Induced Effect on Growth, Enzyme Inhibition, and Genotoxicity can be Ameliorated Using Wheat Straw and Biochar in Pheretima posthuma Earthworms

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Sewage sludge, rich in organic matter and nutrients, is widely used as a fertilizer to increase the fertility of soil. The direct application of sewage sludge without any treatment causes soil contamination as well as significantly affects the earthworm ...

Cytomorphological changes in the cerebral and ventral ganglionic neurosecretory cells during copulation in epigeic earthworms

European Journal of Biological Research, 2020
In spite of hermaphroditism, most earthworm species reproduce by cross fertilization i.e. by the process of copulation of two mature partners. Mechanism of copulation in few earthworm species (Lumbricus terrestris) is known.

Potential of earthworm (Eisenia foetida) as dietary protein source for rohu (Labeo rohita) advanced fry

Cogent Food & Agriculture, 2016
Earthworm, a non-conventional protein source with 520–530 g protein kg−1 on dry matter basis was used in three forms viz. (i) whole earthworm (ii) earthworm custard, and (iii) pelleted earthworm diet to prepare three iso-nitrogenous (500 g protein kg−1 ...
