“…Earlier studies on paddy straw + maize stalk (1:1, w/w) compost was the best formulation which could be further exploited for large scale production of mushrooms for small and marginal farmers also showed similar results (Kaur et al, 2019). The results obtained in the present study coincide with the result obtained by Gurumurthy et al (2018) where the study focused composting with microbial consortia.…”

Composting is one of the cheap and best methods for the disposal of organic waste and its conversion into valuable products. Composting is a spontaneous, biological decomposition process of organic materials in a predominantly aerobic environment. Composting is one of the important and economical methods of the manipulation of a biological process, decomposition; raw organic materials such as manure, leaves, grass clippings, food wastes, and municipal bio solids are converted to stable soil-like humic substances. Composting is an ancient technology undertaken on a variety of levels, from home to industrial which involves a number of microbes. Composting have several benefits, it improves manure handling, possible saleable product, improves land application, minimum risk of different pollution problems, perfect soil conditioner. Composting is a process in which biological breakdown of organic waste under different controlled conditions takes place. The objective of this paper is to study the performance of the aerobic composting of vegetable and fruit wastes in different proportions which may prove to control the environmental pollution and the end product will be useful to the peoples.

“…According to Chander et al (2018), maintaining a higher microbial population through added culture and systematic turnings at 10 day interval hastened the decomposition in aerobic composting. Gurumurthy (2018) reported that the characteristics of the inoculated population of microbes determine decomposition rate of organic matter throughout the process. Higher microbial population enhance the plant growth by production of growth hormones and also act as biological control agents against several soil borne diseases.…”

The search for viable agricultural production systems in the era of unpredictable climate events has elevated the prospects of agroforestry practices for resilience and sustainability. The litter biomass in these ecosystems govern the biogeochemical nutrient cycling prevalent, but can also serve as organic inputs in crop production under situations where these are considered as menace and cumbersome to dispose. When left to decay under natural conditions litter takes a considerably long time for decomposition and release of nutrients entrapped in them. With the increasing need to conserve natural resources and energy, recycling of organic wastes assumes major significance. Leaf litters are untapped sources of nutrients and are generated in substantial quantities in most of the agroforestrty systems. Among the different alternatives available for recycling biomass residues, composting is considered most efficient and viable option, but recent innovations such as biochar production and thermochemical digestion have also been attempted. Organic farming strategies call for in situ production of nutrient inputs for economic viability of the practice and hence information on alternative technologies to enrich the repository of organic manures in the form of litter compost will be of immense importance. These composts could be recycled to soil for enriching soil organic carbon, plant nutrients and to sustain soil health in the long run. Proper utilization of the biowastes in the tree based systems will also ensure reduction in environmental pollution and forest fire incidents that otherwise threaten life. The review unveils the possible technologies for recycling the litter and use as a nutrient source but emphasizes the need for a suitable environment favouring the rapid decomposition.
