Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Field experiment was carried out to standardize the protocol for effective decomposing of cocoa pod husk. For these, the experiment comprise of five treatments: cowdung slurry, earthworms, TNAU Biomineralizer, Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Pleurotus sajor-caju. Data on temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon, total nitrogen, carbon: nitrogen ratio, total phosphorus and total potassium were analyzed. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four replications. The cocoa waste imposed with chrysosporium and Pleurotus sajor-caju showed the rapid decomposition rate than compared with other treatments used in the experiment. The nutrient content of N, P, K were found to be more in the treatment with TNAU Biomineralizer followed by Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Pleurotus sajor-caju.
