KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Earthworms are the organisms which improve the texture of the soil by burrowing into the soil, making it loose and allowing the air to enter into it. They make the soil porous and also form tunnels or holes in the soil which allow the roots to spread through it and get more air and water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The anecic worms feed on the surface and build permanent tunnels that allow them to mix the different soil horizons. They form middens on the soil surface at the entrance of their burrows that contain visible pieces of organic matter and casts, these as well are excreted into the soil profile.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adjust your watering routine. Remove thatch with a dethatcher. Manually remove the worms. Introduce a natural enemy. Reduce the use of organic matter as a soil amendment, such as compost topdressing. Never use pesticides to control an earthworm infestation. 09-May-2022
