The aim is to optimize organic fertilizer production using co-composting of various manures and plant waste.
Assessed co-composting of cow, sheep, and chicken manure with different plant wastes.
Included EM4 microbial activator in some treatments.
Monitored fermentation stability, pH levels, temperature, and moisture.
Analyzed nutrient content and tested the resulting compost through cucumber bioassays.
Final compost nutrient levels varied widely, with high nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content in EM4-activated mixtures.
Cucumber plants grown with the best composts reached heights between 190-205 cm and produced over 30 leaves by Week 8.
Advanced organic-matter decomposition was confirmed by varying ash content in treatments.
