摘要
Textile mill waste can be vermicomposted if it is mixed in the range of 20-30% with cow dung. This article reports the effect of inoculation, of nitrogen fixing Azotobacter chroococcum strain; Azospirillum brasilense strain and phosphate solubilizing Pseudomonas maltophila, on nitrogen and phosphorus content of vermicomposts prepared from cow dung (CD) and cow dung spiked textile mill sludge (CD + STMS). The CD vermicompost was more supportive to the growth and multiplication of all the three bacteria than CD + STMS vermicompost. In Azotobacter chroococcum treated vermicomposts maximum nitrogen content was recorded between 45 and 60 days [CD vermicompost (25.9 ± 0.45 g kg -1) and CD + STMS vermicompost (20.6 ± 0.62 g kg -1)] followed by Azospirillum brasilense inoculation [CD vermicompost (19.4 ± 0.60 g kg-1) and CD + STMS vermicompost (18.6 ± 0.17 g kg-1)]. Phosphorus content in Pseudomonas maltophila inoculated CD vermicompost was 20.8 ± 0.20 g kg-1 and CD + STMS vermicompost was 13.4 ± 0.45 g kg-1 after 75th day of inoculation. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
