Abstract. Worms consume organic substances in the soil such as humus, manure, vegetable and fruit residues), enrich them with biologically active substances in the process of the intestinal transit, and as the result, the worm waste becomes valuable biohumus necessary for the good development of plants. Such biohumus contains microelements and macroelements in the necessary ratio for plant growth, and the biologically active substances in it ensure increase in the fertility process. Biohumus is 15-20 times more effective than any other organic fertilizers. Worms digest organic matter faster than bacteria and produce caprolites. As the result, it is possible to restore the amount of biohumus to a thickness of 1 cm in 2-3 years. Biohumus contains a large amount of humus, its microflora, amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and other biologically active substances have a positive effect on the soil microflora and eliminate plant root diseases. By applying biohumus, a sharp increase in the plant development and productivity is achieved, and an ecologically pure product is created.
