Influence of Worm Density on the Growth of Eudrilus eugeniae [PDF]
Tropicultura, 1997 The experiment shows that there is an optimal density to obtain the highest biomass when rearing hatchlings of Eudrilus eugeniae. Higher densities induce lower individual weight gain and longer duration to sexual maturity.

RESÍDUOS ORGÂNICOS AGROINDUSTRIAIS INFLUENCIAM A PRODUÇÃO DE HÚMUS E MULTIPLICAÇÃO DE MINHOCAS
Revista Brasileira de Engenharia de Biossistemas, 2021 Dentre as técnicas utilizadas no aproveitamento de resíduos agroindustriais, destaca-se a vermicompostagem, ou seja, o uso de minhocas na degradação desses resíduos pelo trato digestivo, transformando-os em húmus de minhoca. A minhoca Eudrilus eugeniae (
