Growing awareness of the environmental impact of intensive agriculture has prompted a quest for more sustainable approaches. The most promising alternatives include the application of organic waste products (OWPs), as well as biofertilizers containing local beneficial microorganisms (BMs) on cultivated soils. This study was designed to assess the effects of BMs on carbon and nitrogen mineralization of OWPs. A 28-day laboratory incubation experiment was conducted at 28 °C with a soil, three OWPs (poultry litter (PL), cow dung (CD), and sewage sludge (SS)), and three BMs (groundnut + millet from Saint-Louis (LGM), groundnut from the southern groundnut basin (BG), and rice from the southern groundnut basin (BR) in Senegal), alone and combined. The results showed that the C mineralization from OWP + BM + soil mixtures exceeded (range 13–41%) those measured for OWP + soil. The BM input induced an increase or reduction in OWP nitrogen mineralization, depending on the type of BM and OWP. However, the net mineral nitrogen (Nmin) obtained with the PL-LGM and SS-BG combinations was 13.6- and 1.7-fold higher than with PL and SS, respectively, at 28 days. The addition of BM seemed to lead to a decrease in the C: N ratio, an improvement in the availability of nitrogen, and an increase in microbial activity in the OWP + BM + soil mixture. Our results generated new information on the variation patterns of OWP carbon and nitrogen in OWP-BM-soil systems. This novel insight will be developed to guide the most appropriate choice of OWP-BM mixtures for improved fertilization in sustainable production systems.
