Abstract
The present study was conducted to nd out the
effect of co-composting materials and bio accelerator
on temperature and pH variation during
composting process. It was observed from the
results that the thermophilic phase (40-64ºC)
was reached earlier in treatment groups which
have decomposed earlier i.e treatments 1 and
2. It took more time to reach the thermophilic
phase in treatment 3 and 4 due to the addition of
coir pith and maximum time was taken in treatment
5 where no bio- accelerator were added. A
reduction in pH was noticed in all the treatment
groups as the decomposition process progressed.
