The book explores the intensive cultivation of the red earthworm, Eisenia foetida, which converts organic waste into nutrient-rich humus, enhancing soil fertility. It presents lombrihumus as a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers, aimed at restoring eroded soils. The study evaluates the impact of various organic diets on the worms' reproductive behavior, oothecae production, and the quality of lombrihumus and leachate, providing insights into improving agroecosystem resilience and soil health.
