Abstract

Present study deals with the enrichment of kitchen waste compost (KWC) with Trichoderma harzianum and to analyze its effect on physico-chemical and microbial parameters with respect to different days. The result found that there were minor increments in vital nutrient which required for plant nutrition and healthy development. Statistically, it had also proven that after inoculationor enrichmentof KWC, around14th dayitgave better resultsand could be utilized in organicfarming to secure better yield and nutritious response of crops.
