FIELD: vermiculite cultivation, in particular, selection of optimal conditions for cultivation of vermiculture.
SUBSTANCE: method involves placing worms into container filled with different substrates; holding; determining optimum conditions for cultivation of worms by frequency of encountered worms and amount of laid cocoons; charging worms from the top into container; arranging substrates in layers and dividing said layers by means of temporary partitions; holding worms during 1-2 days at temperature of 18-22 C; performing visual evaluation through transparent front wall.
EFFECT: simplified method of determining optimal conditions for cultivation of vermiculture, increased number of substrates tested for one cycle, and reduced time consumed for experiment.
