Influencia del uso de sustratos orgánicos en la Calidad del humus de lombriz (Eisenia foetida).

Abstract

The main objective of this review was to study and analyse the information found on digital plataforms and academic networks abaout dynamics in the descomposition of organics substrates and the attainment of humus through vermicompost. In this respect, an exhaustive literature review was carried out by searching, organizing, systematizing and analysing research done by various authors, published in scientific journals, technical reports, tesis, electronic documents search on academic sities, related to the inluence of the usage of organic substrates in the quality of humus obtained through red worms. Moreover, easily accesible documents were parto of the research without affecting the quality of the information. During this process, some articles were pre-selected and from them only those relevat to the topic were used. Additionaly, in this research many tools were used such as graph, chats and tables where information was systematised, this helped to presents the results, draw conclusions and the discussions. The findings showed that the pH had a tendency to being neutral. Acceptable values were obtained of N, P and K, (0,88; 1,5; 0,51) respectively same ones that contribute to the dynamization of soil. The number of young and adult worms found in the soil were 6281,63 and 3444,93; and the weight and size of the worms were 0,61 grams and 7,39 cm. As a conclusion it was found that these types of substrates favor the performance of the red worm to meet the weight and longitude needed to turn organic substrates into humus. Therefore, it is recommended to mix of such substrates as an important imput to obtain an optimal production and reproduction of E. foetida
