Abstract
The paper illustrates the use of system of destructors which are earthworms Eisenia fetida and micromycetes Trichoderma viride for utilization of the brewing wastes. The impact of T. viride on survival of earthworms in the operation of such a system was demonstrated. We previously were received indicating the suppression of the vitality of the earthworms by Trichoderma depending on the number and age of the culture inoculated orally to oligochaetes. In the present study worms remained viable when exposed on the lawns of the test-fungus. The decontamination of substrates transformed by Trichoderma by autoclaving before introduction of the vermi component influenced negatively on the state of oligochaetes.
