Explored the feasibility of using earthworm manure as a cultivation substrate to reduce the use of peat, provided a reference for the efficient utilization of earthworm manure and biochar. This experiment used strawberry seedlings as the main material, combined with facility three-dimensional soilless cultivation technology, and set up five different substrate formulas, including peat: vermiculite: perlite added in a volume ratio of 2∶1∶1 (CK); earthworm manure: vermiculite: perlite added in a volume ratio of 2∶1∶1 (Q1); peat: vermiculite: perlite added in a volume ratio of 2∶1∶1, and on this basis, 10% of biochar was added in a volume ratio of 2∶1∶1 (Q2); earthworm manure: vermiculite: perlite added in a volume ratio of 2∶1∶1, and on this basis, 10% of biochar was added in a volume ratio of 2∶1∶1 (Q3); grass Charcoal: earthworm feces: vermiculite: perlite added in a volume ratio of 1∶1∶1, and on this basis, 10% biochar (Q4) was added in a volume ratio, to determine the effects of each formula substrate on the growth and reproduction of strawberry plants.The results showed that adding an appropriate amount of earthworm manure to the biochar substrate did not affect the survival of strawberry seedlings, but could promote the growth of plant height, stem thickness, crown width, leaf length, leaf width, and leaf area; Earthworm manure could increase the chlorophyll content of strawberry leaves, thereby promoting plant photosynthesis and promoting the reproduction of strawberry seedlings.Overall, the volume ratio of peat, earthworm manure, vermiculite, and perlite, along with the addition of a certain amount of biochar, could be promoted and applied as a substrate for strawberry cultivation.The experimental results provided a reference for earthworm manure replacing peat as a new raw material for soilless cultivation composite substrate.
