Biological decomposition of coconut coirpith waste
2018
The effect of different white rot fungi including Pleurotus djamor, Pleurotus eous, Pleurotus sajor-caju, Pleurotus florida and other basidiomycetes fungi, Calocybe indica, Hypsizygus ulmarius, antagonist's organism viz., Trichoderma viride, Pseudomonas fluorescens, nitrogen fixing bacteria viz., Azospirillum and Phosphobacteria on coconut coirpith decomposition was studied. The coirpith inoculated with different organisms reduced organic carbon content and increased total nitrogen content significantly. However, the maximum reduction of C: N ratio, cellulose and lignin was observed in P. djamor, P. sajor-caju and T. viride. the decomposed coirpith had increased nitrogen, phosphorus, potash and calcium content.
