| Abstract/Contents: | "Earthworms can be classified into three basic feeding and burrowing habits. Anecic earthworms create permanent vertical burrows and feed on organic material pulled from the surface into these burrows. Endogeic earthworms create shallow horizontal burrows within the soil profile and feed on organic and soil material. Epigeic earthworms live within and feed upon surface organic material. Generally, epigeic and anecic earthworms are thought to cast above the surface, while endogeic earthworms cast within their horizontal burrows. In low-cut turfgrass systems, such as golf course greens, tees, and fairways, surface earthworm casting can result in weed and pest invasion, surface softening, reduced photosynthesis, playability issues, and reduced aesthetics. As the use of pesticides for earthworm control is illegal in the United States, earthworms must be managed through cultural practices. Earthworm response to control methods is likely species-dependent, so it is important to identify the species of interest when evaluating and implementing control methods." |
