Paper Waste as A Substrates for African Night Crawler (Eudrilus eugeniae)

International Journal of Multidisciplinary Applied Business and Education Research
  ABSTRACT   The increasing generation of paper waste presents significant environmental challenges. Vermicomposting offers a sustainable means of recycling biodegradable materials through earthworm activity. This study evaluated the growth, reproduction and vermicompost yield of the African Night Crawler (Eudrilus eugeniae) cultured on various paper ...

Aqueous extracts of composted oil refinery sludge and their possible environmental impacts

Water Science and Technology
Oil refinery sludge (ORS) management is a global concern, yet information on its low-cost biotransformation possibility is fairly limited. We present a novel approach for ORS mitigation by Eisenia fetida and Eudrilus eugeniae and aerobic composting (AC ...

Biocompatibility of Kaffir Lime Fruit Juice Powered ZnO Nanoparticles in Earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae: A Green Biomimetic Approach

BioResources
ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using the raw juice of Kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix) fruit bya simple and cost-effective green route and its effects on earthworms, Eudrilus eugeniae, were studied. The kaffir-lime powered ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO:KL) were
