Earthworms play a huge role in breaking down organic matter and fertilising soil, they simply do this through their constant need to eat and excrete, producing ‘worm cast’.
This worm cast is full of beneficial bacteria and nutrients which provides a healthy habitat . earthworms mix and loosen soil which helps it drain and aerate, bringing nutrients to the surface. This movement also helps to make the soil fertile and helps prevent erosion and flooding.
By their activity in the soil, earthworms offer many benefits
Explanation:
increased nutrient availability, better drainage, and a more stable soil structure, all of which help improve farm productivity. Worms feed on plant debris (dead roots, leaves, grasses, manure) and soil.
