Abstract/Contents: | "Earthworms have a vital role in the development of soil structure, fertility and the breakdown of organic matter, but on turf areas heavy rates of casting can detract from the quality of the surface. In this paper factors influencing earthworm activity are reviewed and potential control methods discussed. The main items that are considered are the advantages and disadvantages of earthworm activity, earthworm species responsible for casting, casting rates and the size of casts, factors controlling earthworm populations and casting activity and the control of earthworm casting, both by cultural and chemical methods." |
