Stability and microbial community analysis during rotary drum composting of vegetable waste by V. Sudharsan Varma, Ajay S. Kalamdhad

“…Results Five trials were made with the ratio of 6:3:1 of trial 1 (50 kg), trial 2 (70 kg), trial 3 (90 kg), trial 4 (120 kg) and trial 5 (150 kg) by adding 10 kg of dry leaves in each of the trials as bulking agent. Due to active microbial population and high biodegradable organic matter in vegetable waste, early thermophilic phase was observed within 18â24 h of the composting process in all of the trials with a maximum of 61.4 C in trial 3. …”
