Abstract
In this study, development biofertilizer is produced from sugarcane residues was compared with commercial biological fertilizers. Development Fertilizers from sugarcane wastes have been analyzed chemically and microbiologically. Factors affecting the ripening of the compost and growth of microorganisms in the dander, (temperature, humidity and pH) were monitored. The final values for each were 45, 30 and 8., respectively. The compost ripening was followed by the analysis of organic matter and organic carbon, their respective values were 20.7 and 63.54, respectively, and the C: N ratio was 1:16 upon completion of ripening. The ratio of major elements N, P, K, which was 2.4, 4.78 And 0.06 respectively at the end of the ripening period. Bacterial isolated from sugarcane wastes were belonged to Bacillus genera, while fungal isolates belonged to Aspergillus genera.
Highlights
Sugarcane bagasse is a residue that the sugar industries produce in great quantities.Bagasse is the by-product of the milling that remains after sugar is removed from the plant
The compost piles were processed in a wooden model divided into two levels equipped with electric antennas for continuous ventilation with constant flipping during the composting process
Physical And Chemical Parameters: Temperature (C); The temperature increased gradually in all compost types at the 12 days to reach to 50-55 °C and it is obviously reduced to 45 °C at the 6th day
Summary
Bagasse is the by-product of the milling that remains after sugar is removed from the plant. It is a fibrous residue, which mainly contains cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin The total amount of cane cultivated in Upper Egypt is about 16 million tons per year (Hamada, Y.M., 2011). Most of these wastes, the bagasse, are usually burned or converted into boiler fuel due to the lack of proper management techniques that resulted in atmospheric pollution due to toxic gas emissions and posed a threat to human health
