| dc.description.abstract | An experiment was conducted to study the “Biodegradation of Calophyllum inophullum fruit husk” with de-oiled cake as a source of N and Di-Ammonium Phosphate as a source of P with and without microbial consortium consisting of mixture of Trichoderma viridae, Phanaerochyte crysosporium and Trichurus spiralis under the laboratory conditions. The fruit husk was subjected to decomposition for a period of 90 days in plastic containers of capacity five kgs. The initial CN ratio of fruit husk was 64:1 which has reduced to 16:1 and contained N (2.40%), P (0.84%) and K (1.76%) in the treatment with Calophyllum fruit husk + de-oiled cake + microbial consortium + DAP satisfying the degree of compost maturity, NPK content and C: N ratio. The treatment with Calophyllum fruit husk + de-oiled cake + microbial consortium recorded significantly higher loss in weight of the substrate. The effect of enriched bio-compost thus obtained after 90 days of decomposition was tested on maize crop under green house conditions. It was found to have enhanced growth parameters in terms of total height of the plant, number of leaves and total biomass on maize crop in the treatment Calophyllum fruit husk + de-oiled cake + microbial consortium + DAP and was also on par with the treatment with Calophyllum fruit husk + de-oiled cake + microbial consortium indicating, that in the presence of oil cake as a source of N, microbial consortium can bring about faster decomposition of Calophyllum fruit husk and also can influence the plant growth | en_US |
