Microbial Inoculants of Environmental Material in the Compost Application Research Progress

Abstract:

composting is a process of organic matter degradation and transformation achieved by microorganism, which plays a leading role during composting processes. Inoculation with proper microorganisms can raise the temperature rapidly, shorten the time of the composting, increase the degradation of organic matter and improve the quality of compost. This paper summarized the functions of microorganism inoculum and suggested that in order to solve the problems: to become the dominant strain(s) for the microorganism inoculated in the composting process; to choose the species of microorganism inoculum，the optimal inoculation quantity and the time of inoculation should be studied.
