Abstract Detergent fiber analysis was used to fractionate carbon (C) into hemicellulose (degradable carbon) and cellulose and lignin (recalcitrant carbon) for cattle manure (CM), neem leaves (NL), corn stover (CS), and lawn clipping (LC) to investigate the effects of C quality on vermicomposting. A factorial design having five C sources (CM, CM + NL, CS, CS + NL, and LC) and two earthworm species (Eudrilus eugeniae (EE) and Omodeoscolex divergens (OD)) was studied under pure and mixed culture vermicomposting. Earthworm fecundity, biomass, and vermicompost quality were measured. The combination of culture and C source was significant (p < 0.05) for all fecundity and biomass variables. CM and CM + NL were mainly associated with increased responses. Change in population was > tenfold for EE and OD reared on CM. Percentage change in biomass increased up to 200% for OD and EE when fed CM and CM + NL. Contrastingly, decreases or no changes in fecundity and biomass parameters were associated with CS and CS + NL. The NL combinations resulted in lower responses in fecundity and biomass; however, earthworms favored CM + NL over CS + NL. OD was highest (p < 0.05) amongst cultures for LC. The mixed culture response was generally low for parameters measured. Vermicompost C/N ratio decreased from initial carbon source values except for LC. O. divergens vermi-converted carbon sources of varying C quality, producing distinct vermicompost in the process.

活性碳对纯蚯蚓和混合蚯蚓堆肥下Omodeoscolex divergens和Eudrilus eugeniae繁殖力的影响

摘要 洗涤剂纤维分析用于将碳 (C) 分离成半纤维素（可降解碳）和纤维素和木质素（顽固碳），用于牛粪 (CM)、印楝叶 (NL)、玉米秸秆 (CS) 和草坪修剪 (LC)。 ) 研究 C 质量对蚯蚓堆肥的影响。在纯和混合培养蚯蚓堆肥下研究了具有五个 C 源（CM、CM + NL、CS、CS + NL 和 LC）和两种蚯蚓物种（Eudrilus eugeniae (EE) 和 Omodeoscolex divergens (OD)）的因子设计。测量了蚯蚓的繁殖力、生物量和蚯蚓粪质量。对于所有繁殖力和生物量变量，培养物和碳源的组合是显着的（p < 0.05）。CM 和 CM + NL 主要与反应增加有关。用 CM 饲养的 EE 和 OD 的种群变化 > 十倍。当喂食 CM 和 CM + NL 时，OD 和 EE 的生物量变化百分比增加了 200%。相比之下，繁殖力和生物量参数的减少或没有变化与 CS 和 CS + NL 相关。NL 组合导致繁殖力和生物量的响应较低；然而，蚯蚓更喜欢 CM + NL 而不是 CS + NL。OD 在 LC 的培养物中最高 (p < 0.05)。对于测量的参数，混合培养反应通常较低。除 LC 外，蚯蚓粪 C/N 比从初始碳源值下降。O. 使不同 C 质量的蚯蚓转化碳源发散，在此过程中产生不同的蚯蚓堆肥。NL 组合导致繁殖力和生物量的响应较低；然而，蚯蚓更喜欢 CM + NL 而不是 CS + NL。OD 在 LC 的培养物中最高 (p < 0.05)。对于测量的参数，混合培养反应通常较低。除 LC 外，蚯蚓粪 C/N 比从初始碳源值下降。O. 使不同 C 质量的蚯蚓转化碳源发散，在此过程中产生不同的蚯蚓堆肥。NL 组合导致繁殖力和生物量的响应较低；然而，蚯蚓更喜欢 CM + NL 而不是 CS + NL。OD 在 LC 的培养物中最高 (p < 0.05)。对于测量的参数，混合培养反应通常较低。除 LC 外，蚯蚓粪 C/N 比从初始碳源值下降。O. 使不同 C 质量的蚯蚓转化碳源发散，在此过程中产生不同的蚯蚓堆肥。
