Composting of Agricultural Waste Residues by Effective Streptomyces rameusKAC3 and Streptomyces mutabilis KAC6 Isolates for the Mass Production of Vermicompost

Abstract

Agricultural sector after yield harvest remains plant parts huge environmental pollution issues because not suitable technology makes composting process. In this point of view, present investigation rigorously scrutinizes the agricultural waste decomposition process facilitated successfully completion in 40 days duration compost maturation by use effective of Streptomyces rameus KAC3 and Streptomyces mutabilis KAC6 to increase nutrient availability. Different agricultural crop waste is being used in this composting technology process which stem, root and leaves from multiple crops. The parameters reveled which include temperature, pH, moisture content, microbial populations, and nutrient analysis at various composting maturation stages, Based on findings emerge during degradation process the temperature fluctuation days 10th (34.6±0.06), 20th (49.37±0.14), 30th (62.4±0.06) and end of 40th day (32.7±0.15) and alongside pH elevations increases ranged from 5.2 to 6.53. The 30th day marks the zenith of microbial populations reaching 71.23±0.2 (109 CFU) and 9.28±0.09 (109 CFU), respectively. Furthermore, examination of vermicompost nutrient availability values reveals its superior profile compared to effective microorganism (EM) compost, with organic carbon (12.17%), nitrogen (1.24%), phosphorus (1.39%), potassium (0.76%). Finally, the research concluded that the plant nutrient availability was enhanced through incorporation of effective actinomycetes KAC3 and KAC6 to convert Agro-waste material to mature compost for further processing of vermicompost.
