We all know "electric fish", but have you ever heard of "electric earthworm"?
Earthworms, also known as "earth dragons" in some places, have formed an entire industrial chain of catching, buying, drying and selling earthworms in some rural areas in the past 30 years. Among them, the capture of earthworms is the source of the entire industrial chain, in the past people mainly used medicinal water for irrigation, but now it has developed to use the "Earth Dragon Instrument" electric earthworm.
The so-called earth dragon instrument is to connect the machine to the battery, and then put the charged wire into the surface, the current will be conducted through the soil moisture, stimulating the earthworms hidden deep underground, so that the earthworms drill out of the ground to the ground, and then people catch the earthworms. According to people who catch earthworms, in the past, people used to spray water into the soil, and after 10 minutes, the earthworms would climb out, but after the dragon instrument, people did not use the water, and the villagers said that the motor efficiency was fast and the effect was high, and it only took 20 seconds for the earthworm to climb out.
According to the villagers, a pound of earthworms can be sold for about 5-8 yuan, a better technology can earn about 300-400 yuan a day, if the sun is dried into earthworms sold, you can also earn more, and even some people can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.
No cost, no investment, and no need to go to work to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, it sounds very understandable, do not know that the wanton hunting of earthworms will bring serious drawbacks to the local soil.
Earthworm, is a link animal phylum oligochaete orthopteryceous family, earthworm family has a total of more than 3,000 species, of which China has more than 200 varieties distributed.
Earthworms are not uncommon in China, they are numerous, inhabit a wide range, and there is no danger of extinction. But the fact that there is no risk of extinction does not mean that they do not need protection, they are an important link in terrestrial ecosystems, and they can even affect human life.
People who hunt earthworms covet the earthworms themselves, using them for fishing, fishing, and medicine. It is not known that earthworms are alive more than they contribute to death.
The earthworm's feeding, digestion, mucus secretion, excretion of waste and ordinary excavation ability all contribute to the material circulation and energy transfer of soil processes, so it is also called "ecosystem engineer" and "first laborer".
Earthworms come from a wide range of food sources, and they can drag organic matter under the soil, increasing the contact area of plant leaves with soil microorganisms, while also eliminating nematodes, bacterial fungi and other organisms, which have organisms that are harmful to humans. The large disappearance of earthworms will lead to crops becoming more susceptible to pests and diseases.
The excreta of earthworms is loose and porous, the water stability is strong, and the effective nutrients are abundant, which can increase the soil permeability and water permeability, and can also store water and retain fertilizer.
Earthworms will also drill holes in normal times, which is conducive to improving soil compaction, improving soil ventilation, and allowing organic matter under the soil to contact the air, which is conducive to the decomposition of organic matter.
However, on the other hand, there is a large demand for earthworms in the market. Earthworms can be used for fishing, are very good fishing raw materials, can also be used in fisheries and aquaculture, and can even be used in medicine. The demand for earthworms is so large that the market price is higher, causing some people to start using electricity to catch earthworms.
The disappearance of a large number of earthworms, the most direct feeling for farmers is that the soil is compacted, water and fertilizer can not be transported to the roots of plants, resulting in agricultural production, the need to often manually loosen the land, so some farmers realize this, they no longer electric earthworms. But the problem is that as long as the electric earthworms do not stop, there will still be other people coming over to the electric earthworms, which will still cause the soil of their own land to clump.
The process of electric earthworms can also cause harm to other organisms in the soil, which is a very serious behavior. Therefore, although there is no extinction crisis for earthworms, in order to protect the soil ecological environment, electric earthworms have been listed as illegal acts, and some people have been sentenced for selling and purchasing earth dragon instruments.
The case entrusted the agent ad litem said that the court found that earthworms have an important position in the soil ecosystem, although earthworms are not protected animals, but people's use of earthworms must be within a reasonable range, such as electric earthworms, which are not reasonable means of sustainable use of wild animals, will certainly cause damage to the public interest of the ecological environment, so the defendants have to bear the losses caused by the destruction of the ecology, as well as pay the corresponding litigation costs and apologies totaling nearly 2 million yuan.
Many people catch earthworms because they sell for more, but in reality, people can make money by farming earthworms.
There are already some places in China that have begun to develop large-scale breeding of earthworm factories. Earthworms can be turned into treasure, in the past the livestock breeding industry produced manure is difficult to deal with, often pollute the water, pollute the air, and the breeding of earthworms just need a lot of livestock manure, earthworms feed on livestock manure, excrete loose and porous manure, these feces can be used to crops, help the nearby melon, fruit and vegetable breeding industry.
Farmed earthworms can also be used to be stocked into farmland to improve the soil compaction problem of farmland, which is very beneficial to the local ecological environment.
It can be seen that the earthworm is still the earthworm, but some people always try to make quick money and destroy the ecological environment, while some people can find a way for people to live in harmony with nature.
