Enchytraeidae are also known as ‘pot worms’ and owe their name to first being discovered in flower pots. Each body segment bears four bundles of bristles (setae), two located on the ventral side and two occupying lateral or dorsolateral positions.
Magnesium in Plants and Soil
Magnesium is an essential plant nutrient. It has a wide range of key roles in many plant functions. One of magnesium’s well-known roles is in the photosynthesis process, as it is a building block of chlorophyll, which makes leaves appear green. Magnesium deficiency might be a significant limiting factor in crop production.

Diversity Of Soil Organisms
Fungal-feeding nematodes are relatively more abundant in less-disturbed (e.g. notill systems) and perennial systems, where conditions for fungal growth are promoted, than in disturbed systems.
Diversity Of Soil Organisms
Most research on soil nematodes has focused on the plant-parasitic nematodes that attack the roots of cultivated crops. Less attention has been given to nematodes that are not plant-feeders and play beneficial roles in the soil environment.
Conservative and Regenerative Versus Intensive Agriculture
In a recent report Dr. Robin Batterham outlines the benefits of conservation and regenerative agriculture and calls for greater scientific analysis of these agricultural practices.

The Importance of Building Soil Health and Diversity
It seems everywhere you go the word in agriculture these days is regenerative farming. Now we are talking about regenerative farming which basically covers all and any type of farming that focuses on increasing soil health and restoring carbon in the soil.
Ginger Is A Viable Antidote And Protective Agent Against Fatal Poisoning – Part 2
Compounds in ginger root protect white blood cells in vitro (a test tube or petri dish) against genetic damage caused by exposure to radiation as a cancer treatment.
Ginger Is A Viable Antidote And Protective Agent Against Fatal Poisoning – Part 1
This is the bold claim from a new ginger study and which we at once realized is of immense importance for all farmers exposed to pesticides, environmental pollutants, heavy metals, bacterial and fungal toxins and even some cosmetic products and medications. In fact, most of us have been exposed to all the above in our environment.
Diversity Of Soil Organisms
Tardigrades are common in both marine and freshwater systems but also in the water films surrounding soil particles. They are also found in mosses, which are the plants that have the most developed capacity to absorb and retain water, thus giving them their second common name ‘moss piglets’.
Why Dung Beetles Are Essential
It is estimated that in Australia there is half a million tonnes of cattle dung dropped on the land every day. If the dung pats are left to dry they can quickly become breeding ground for flies and when the rain comes are washed away into creeks and waterways along with your nutrients. What a waste!
