TITLE: INTERACTION BETWEEN EARTH WORMS AND SOIL FERTILITY OBJECTIVE: 1. To determine the best weight of earthworm that gives the optimum growth rate. 2. To test the effect in the presence of earthworm toward the growth rate of the plant. 3. To find out the effect of distribution of earthworm affect plant species in an area. 4. To find out the difference between various species of earthworm. 5. To determine the best condition/environment that is suitable for earthworm habitat. 6. To find out the most suitable method in breading the earthworm.

METHOD: MATERIAL: 1. Earthworm (100g, 200g, 300g)

1- Lumbricus Rubellus (Red EarthWorms) 2- Eisenia Fetida (Tiger Earthworms)

2. Plant a. Tomato Plant (Growth fast in showing the needed data) b. Mango plant (kit Choose either one. both can be bought at pekan) PROCEDURE:

1. Suitable soil is determine and DAPATKAN HAHAHA.. 2. The soil nutrient content is tested. 3. First the soil is tested for suitability for the development of the worm. It is left out for 1 week. 4.

Pot C is placed with approximately 200g of worm and pot D is placed with 300g of worm. Pot D is left without any worm. 6. 4 tomato plant is growth inside each pot.
