The act of worms eating and excreting has been going on for centuries, and it has been used to help make compost for nearly as long. When worms digest organic material and leave casings behind, the casings are rich in a variety of nutrients needed for healthy plant growth. Nitrogen, magnesium, phosphorous, carbon, calcium and potassium are all present in worm casings in significant amounts, which makes casings a prime source of nutrition for plants in the nearby area.

How do Nematoda excrete substances?

Nematodes, or roundworms, excrete waste substances primarily through a specialized system called the excretory system, which consists of two main components: the renette cells and the excretory canals. Renette cells absorb waste products from the body fluids, and the excretory canals transport these wastes to the exterior. In some species, waste is also expelled through the anus. This system helps maintain osmotic balance and removes harmful metabolic byproducts efficiently.
