| Popis: | We investigated the influence of the anecic earthworm Pheretima hawayana (Rosa, 1891) on decomposition, nitrogen (N) mineralization and maize apparent N recovery from farmyard manure (M), wheat straw + M (WSM), maize straw + M (MSM), compost (CO), and slurry (SL) applied to a sandy loam soil. Results revealed that inoculation of earthworm in organic waste treatments significantly increased CO2 emission (P = 0.02). The earthworms’ induced CO2 emission was the highest in MSM and the lowest in M treatment. Earthworms did not influence total dry matter yield or N uptake by maize (P > 0.05), however, organic wastes significantly affected these parameters (P |
