Abstract

Earthworms are essential soil organisms in maintaining soil fertility and thus are regarded as biological indicators of soil fertility. Earthworms are ecologically classified into epigeics, anecics and endogeics. However, only some species (epigeic and anecic) of earthworms [1] are used for vermicomposting. The present investigations were carried out during the year 2014-2015 on local variety of earthworms hand sorted from Anton de Kom University of Suriname cattle fields for their feasibility to vermi-processing. Species identified belongs to family Megascolecidae and species Amynthas corticis, commonly known as black wriggler or crazy worm.
