English. Earthworms were produced in laboratory using six different types of composts of agricultural wastes, i.e. that of water hyacinth (Eichhornia), a mixture (sawdust 55 percent, rice husk 35 percent, rice bran 10 percent), domestic wastes, sheep manure, Carabao manure and cow manure. The experimental unit was a plastic box of 1.25 x 0.8 x 0.2 m size, the stocking rate was 100 individuals/square m or 30 grams/square m. The culture period was 120 days with monthly sampling periods. The results of the experiment indicated that all of the experimental composts had the same effect on the biomass of earthworm, but the carabao compost had the highest quality for growing earthworm population, i.e. about 15,600 individuals/square m

Cacing tanah dikembangbiakkan dalam laboratorium dengan menggunakan enam jenis kompos yang berbeda, yaitu eceng gondok, sampah kota, campuran serbuk gergaji 55 persen, sekam padi 35 persen, dedak 10 persen, kotoran kambing, kotoran kerbau dan kotoran sapi. Wadah percobaan yaitu kotak kayu yang dilapisi plastik, dengan ukuran 1,25 x 0,8 x 0,2 m. Penebaran awal 100 ekor/m2 atau 30 g/m2. Lama pemeliharaan 120 hari dengan sampling setiap bulan. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa semua kompos yang digunakan mempunyai pengaruh yang sama terhadap penambahan berat biomas cacing tanah, tetapi kompos kotoran kerbau paling cocok untuk penambahan populasi yaitu mencapai 15.600 ekor/m2
