摘要：Organic waste produced from household, agriculture, plantation, and animal husbandry may cause environmental pollution. Earthworms can utilize this organic waste for their growth medium and decompose them to produce casting fertilizer. The objective of this study was to analyze the growth of three earthworm species from Pekanbaru using two types of media, i.e. Perionyx sp1 (Cacing Merah), Perionyx sp2 (Cacing Susu), and Amynthas aspergillum (Cacing Gila Bodoh). All these earthworms were grown in litter media and manure-soil mixture. Media without the earthworms were used as control. The experiment design used in this study was Full Factorial Random Design. The results showed Amynthas aspergillum (Cacing Gila Bodoh), Perionyx sp1 (Cacing Merah), dan Perionyx sp2 (Cacing Susu) had distinct morphological characters such as the body length, skin colour, segment number, prostomium type, setae number per segment, clitellum colour and position, and also the number and position of male genital hole. The most suitable medium for each Amynthas aspergillum (Cacing Gila Bodoh), Perionyx sp1 (Cacing Merah), and Perionyx sp2 (Cacing Susu) were litter, cow manure, and cow manure+soil mixture media, respectively.
