Experiment code 17.5.3.31.
Experiment Title Bio-composting of rice and finger millet straw by potent cellulolytic isolates
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background In India, over 500 million ton (Mt) of agricultural residues is produced every year. Cereal crops (rice, wheat, maize, millets) contribute 70% of the total crop residues (352 Mt) comprising 34% by rice. These crop residues are rich in cellulose having wider C:N ratio. These residues can be utilized for quick composting by applying cellulose decomposing microorganisms. These microbes have ability to secrete extracellular hydrolytic enzymes and can degrade crop residues naturally. They can be applied for production of valuable bio-compost from waste crop residues.
