Maintenance of Base Culture

Maintainance of Base Culture

  • For initial multiplication, best substrate is cow dung.
  • Base culture should be multiplied on this substrate.
  • For any commercial venture, maintenance of seed culture is a must.
  • Mixing of cow dung + pieces of banana pseudostem in 1 : 1 ratio gives more number of worms due to more multiplication rate.
  • One year old semi-decomposed rice straw makes the worm to lay as many cocoons as possible.
