Abstract
The current study evaluated the effects of loading characters of cattle manure as inocula on the composting of coconut pulp residue. A series of experiments were carried out to evaluate characteristics of compost generated from the different treatments. Results showed that total organic carbon of both finished compost T1 (56%) and T2 (57%) were close to that of the normal compost. The results of the study showed that that composts T2 had higher total nitrogen content (1.53%) than that of compost T1 which contained around 1.34%, and both are still in the normal range of total nitrogen of the finished composts. The electrical conductivity of compost T2 (625 mS/m) was about two times higher than that of compost T1 (296 mS/m) suggesting that the compost T1 was feasible used as a fertilizer in agriculture.
