“…At the same trend increased P and K% in shoots as the highest P values were (0.43%) in each seasons, in respect to K% which was (2.0%) during two seasons, respectively. These results are in agreement with Pant et al (2012) who found that applications of compost tea increased growth and mineral nutrient content of Brassica rapa. Table ( 10) shows that highly significant effect of bio and chemical fertilizer on flowering date during the first and the second seasons.…”

A pot experiment was carried out during two successive seasons of 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 in a split design to determine if compost tea spraying and Enterobacter cloacae KX034162 inoculation under phosphorus fertilization levels influence plant development, rhizome weight and chemical constituents of Zantedeschia aethiopica plants. The study showed that generally E. cloacae KX034162 inoculation had a positive effect on growth, flowering and chemical constituents under the different phosphorus (p) fertilization levels. E. cloacae KX034162 inoculation under 50% Prate of recommended dose combined with compost tea spraying resulted in a significant increase in plant height, number of leaves per clump, leaf area, shoot and rhizome fresh weight, rhizome dry weight, stalk length and diameter, inflorescence height and diameter, flowering spike fresh weight, N, P and K concentration in shoot, flowering period and flower date and increased activity of dehydrogenase in soil. While, total inflorescence clump -1 and vase life (days) were increased by inoculation with E. cloacae KX034162 under 75% P-rate of the recommended dose combined with compost tea spraying.

“…Aerobic composting is a widely used technique for solid waste treatment, the equipment for composting is developing rapidly [4][5][6][7]. In recent years, some studies focused on changes in biochemical indicators [5,8], maturity [4], stability of compost products [6], and effects of product cultivation [9]. Domestic and foreign scholars conducted a series of studies on the theory and practice of solving the long-time fermentation problem of conventional composting, similar to adding the biological agent to accelerate decomposition during the composting process [10].…”

An experimental composting system was employed to study the effect of different proportions of corn stalk, rice husk and swine waste on composting efficiency and final compost quality. Three dry mass ratios were designed with biological agent addition as blank contrast. After 84 days of a static aerobic composting process, full-scale comparison was investigated in maturity, organic nutrient and sanitarian properties. The results showed that the treatment of corn stalk co-composting with swine waste at 1:1.5 ratio with the addition of a biological agent was the first to achieve maturity and had a higher level of organic fertiliser quality, and hygienic indicators of the compost product were satisfied within the relevant standards for harm. Meanwhile, the effect of the biological agent on acceleration of degradation was verified in corn stalk composting. This study found rice husk compost did not reach ideal high temperature. The maturity effect of the final product was relatively poor. Except the treatment of rice husk mixing swine manure at 1:2 ratio with biological agent, other treatments of rice husk had lower and lesseffective products, no positive effect was observed in the rice husk compost. At the end of this paper some suggestions were given to develop new approaches for rice husk utilisation and reduce the cost of corn stalk co-composting.

“…After that, the condensed materials were ashed in a heavy-duty muffle furnace (Thermolyne Thermo Scientific FA1740-1, USA) at 350 °C (EPA 2004). Total nitrogen by the method of Micro-Kjeldahl (Bremner and Mulvaney 1982), total potassium using flame photometer (Page et al 1982) and total phosphorous by molybdate vanadate yellow method (Chapman and Pratt 1961) were estimated. Concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn by the method of dry ashing and digesting in HCl 2M, and finally were determined via using atomic absorption spectrometry model AA-670G method (Chapman and Pratt 1961).…”

Purpose Using different organic beds to produce vermicompost may influence on quality of vermicompost and its derived productions. Methods A greenhouse experiment was conducted to compare the properties of vermicompost, vermiwash and vermicompost tea obtained from three types of organic beds consisted of cow manure, leaf meal and a combination of cow manure and leaf meal (1:1 w/w). Results Cow manure vermicompost had more desirable effect on many measured traits toward leaf meal and combination of leaf meal and cow manure vermicomposts. Vermicompost tea obtained from three vermicompost types was richer in terms of macro and micro nutrients, C/N, percent of organic matter and organic carbon toward the vermiwash produced from the same vermicompost. Vermiwash and vermicompost tea produced from cow manure vermicompost were at first order in majority of measured traits toward others. Conclusions Generally vermicompost which was richer in nutrient concentrations affected intensively quality of vermiwash and vermicompost tea produced from it.
