In the 20th century, the arrival of intensive agriculture brought about the phenomenon of soil impoverishment. Chemical fertilization methods, the study of applied genetics, the
mechanization of agriculture and the development of phytosanitary techniques have all increased agricultural production. Earthworm humus constitutes an authentic biological
fertilizer in terms of organicmaterial and microbial population. The trials performed at
CREA-OF, Pescia (PT),showed the ability of earthworm humus to increase the quality of
basil plants, strawberry and sage, in terms of vegetative and root biomass
