We know that Earthworm are regarded as a friends of farmer. They are also called as natural plough man. Due to their boring habit, they help in soil aeriation. It feeds on dead and decaying organic matter present in soil and egest compost (Vermicompost) as a worm casting. Compost obtained from earthworm (vermicompost) is very fertile. It contain all the essential nutrients for plant like Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium, different minerals, plant growth hormones, etc. that enhance plant growth, suppresses disease in plants, increases porosity and microbial activity in soil, and improves water retention and aeration. Vermicompost also benefits the environment by reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. Thus, Earthworm are good for the plants.
