摘要

Management of agricultural waste generated by farm practices has emerged as a significant global problem. Also, handling raw animal manure in a hygienic and eco-friendly process appears to be tedious. The present lab scale study has been carried out to assess the effect of lab-synthesized eco-enzyme applications on the physio-chemical properties of compost prepared using rice husk and sawdust. The study portrays a maturation period of 150 days without eco-enzyme as compared to a maturation period of 120 days when using 10% eco-enzyme with water (V/V). The highest moisture content has been observed in compost from sawdust and rice husk with 20% eco-enzyme under the thermophilic stage. However, the highest organic carbon value of 36.75% was observed in rice husk compost with 10% eco-enzyme on the 15th day, whereas the minimum organic carbon value of 6.0% was observed in rice husk compost with 20% eco-enzyme on the 135th day. The minimum C/N ratio of 13% was observed in rice husk compost with 15% eco-enzyme. The data in the present study has been used for statistical analysis by applying one-way ANOVA, and the computed results in terms of F value for all eco-enzymes variations for sawdust and rice husk are less than the critical F value of 3.19 at a 5% level of significance for all analyzed parameters including pH, moisture content, organic, TKN, and C/N ratio. The current study’s conclusions may inspire the creation of innovative and sustainable techniques for producing high-quality compost, promoting the more ecologically conscious and circular use of organic waste in horticultural and agricultural applications.
