Abstract :
Earthworms Eiseniafetida, are treated in Sawdust + Tomato (STM), Sawdust + Tobacco (STB), Sawdust +Sugar beet (SSB), Sawdust +Tomato + Tobacco (STMTB), Sawdust +Sugar beet Tobacco (SSBTB), Sawdust Tomato + Sugar beet (STMSB) and Sawdust Tomato +Sugar beet + Tobacco (STMSBTB) substrates with four replications. The effects of treatment, time and interaction of treatment*time are assessed with respect to variability of physicochemical parameters of substrates and the growth and reproduction of E.fetida for a period of 45 days with intervals of 15 days sampling. The two-way ANOVA indicates the statistical significances effect of (P 0.01). The parameters: EC, pH, C: N, moisture%, weight, number of earthworm, number of cocoon and number of hatchlings’ mean involved in treatments above indicate scientific differences with respect to physicochemical parameters of substrates and the growth and reproduction of E.fetida. Regarding time effect the findings on treatment effect hold true in its own sense.
