Worm Farming Worm farming basically is a practice of farming worms. It is not the worms that live inside our intestine. I am talking about earthworms. Farming earthworms is nowadays is a very common issue among the farmers, gardeners and agriculturists. Some people even practice this farming for business purpose. Due to its charming beneficial effects on the environment, massive number of people want to know how to start worm farming . Click here to know the Influence of earthworms on soil fertility and productivity. Before you start worm farming , it is necessary to have access to abundant food wastes like eggshells, coffee grounds or tea bags, vegetable wastes, unnecessary portions of fruits and most importantly paper. Yes, you can use newspaper too since you have the easiest access for it. Worm farming is fabulously beneficial for maintaining environmental quality and soil fertility. It is helpful to the environment because this farming can easily convert the food waste to co...

How Can You Control Plant Disease By Soil Management

Prevention is the best defense against soil borne diseases. Strict quarantine systems will restrict the transfer of soil borne pathogens from one area to another. Elimination of the host crop from the infested field will help in cases where no alternate hosts are available. Crop rotation and tillage practices can be used to help control a disease by growing non susceptible plants for several years between susceptible crops, and by burying plant residues on which fungal spores might overwinter. By preventing the splashing of soil onto foliage during rainstorm, mulches can reduce the transmission of soil borne diseases. Plant Disease - Soil Science - Soil management Soil pH Regulation of soil pH is effective in controlling some diseases. For example, keeping the pH low (<5.2) can control both the actinomycete caused potato scab and the fungal disease of turf grass known as spring dead spot. Raising soil pH to about 7 can control clubroot disease in the cabbage...

Factors Affecting Earthworm Activity

Earthworms prefer a moist, but well-aerated environment. They do not live under anaerobic conditions, nor do they thrive in coarse sands. Because fungi and bacteria that grow on decaying organic matter are their principal food sources, earthworms generally grow best where farm manure or other decomposable organic materials are added to the soil. A few species are reasonably tolerant to low pH, but most earthworms thrive best where the soil is not too acidic and has abundant calcium. Most earthworms are quite sensitive to excess salinity. Enchytraeid worms are much more tolerant of acid conditions and are more active than earthworms in some forested Spodosols. Some earthworms burrow as deep as 1 to 2 meter into the profile, thereby avoiding unfavorable moisture and temperature conditions. However, in soils not insulated by residue mulches, a sudden heavy frost in the fall may decimate earthworm populations before they can move deeper into the soil profile. Earthworm activity -...
