Cultivation conditions of the Californian Red Worm in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua

Abstract

The objectives of this research are to promote new knowledge related to sustainability in the interested university student community and in other students of different schools. Improve the green areas of the University and test the result of the Organic Compost in the plants of some teachers of the institution. Comply in part with the social commitment to transmit knowledge and care for the environment. In this investigation, it will be proved visually that the Red Worm only develops well under average temperatures of 30 ℃ (Edward & Bater, 1992). In the results obtained it was possible to observe that although in Ciudad Juarez, the summers are very hot, the winters are short and cold. During the course of the year the temperature varies from 1 ℃ to 36 ℃ in summer and up to 6 ℃ below zero on cold fronts. The earthworm reproduction did not stop if it did not double the initial amount placed in the worm compost.
