5th year Agricultural Science students took part in an investigation to calculate the population of earthworms in an area on a sunny afternoon.
Earthworms play a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems, particularly in soil health and agricultural productivity.
Earthworms burrow through the soil, creating a network of channels that allows air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the earth. This aeration improves the structure of the soil, making it less compacted and more porous.
