Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural waste resource utilization technology, specifically to a compound microbial agent and composting method for rapid composting of straw and livestock manure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main methods of handling straw and livestock manure are random dumping, burning, or direct return to the field. This not only causes serious environmental pollution, such as the thick smoke from burning straw polluting the air and livestock manure seeping into the soil and groundwater, but also wastes valuable biomass resources.

[0003] Composting is an effective way to utilize straw and livestock manure resources. Through the metabolic action of microorganisms, the organic matter in straw and livestock manure is decomposed into stable humus, which can be used as organic fertilizer for agricultural production, improving soil fertility and reducing the amount of chemical fertilizer used. However, traditional composting methods have problems such as long composting cycles, low composting efficiency, and unstable compost product quality, which limit their large-scale promotion and application.

[0004] The application of compound microbial agents is key to shortening the composting cycle and improving compost quality. While various compound microbial agents for straw or livestock manure composting have been developed, most suffer from problems such as unreasonable strain combinations and poor synergistic effects, resulting in low decomposition efficiency of recalcitrant substances like straw cellulose and hemicellulose, hindering rapid maturation. Furthermore, some compound microbial agents exhibit poor temperature resistance, easily becoming inactive during the high-temperature composting stage, further impacting maturation. Simultaneously, existing composting methods lack precise control over key parameters such as temperature, humidity, and C / N ratio, making it difficult to guarantee composting efficiency and product quality.

[0005] Therefore, developing a compound microbial agent with reasonable strain matching, strong synergistic effect, and good temperature resistance, along with a matching efficient composting method, to achieve rapid decomposition of straw and livestock manure, is of great practical significance for promoting the resource utilization of agricultural waste and reducing environmental pollution.

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This invention provides a compound microbial agent and composting method for rapid composting of straw and livestock manure, enabling efficient composting of straw and livestock manure in a short time, improving the quality of compost products, reducing processing costs, and facilitating large-scale promotion.

[0025] Example 1: Preparation of Compound Microbial Agent The compound microbial agent in this embodiment is composed of the following microbial species by weight percentage: Bacillus subtilis 30%, Aspergillus niger 25%, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 20%, Bacillus stearothermophilus 15%, and Azotobacter brownifolia 10%.

[0026] Preparation method of compound microbial agent: Each bacterial strain was inoculated into its corresponding culture medium for expansion culture. *Bacillus subtilis* was cultured on LB medium at 37℃ with shaking at 180 rpm for 24 h; *Aspergillus niger* was cultured on potato dextrose medium at 30℃ with static incubation for 48 h; *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* was cultured on malt extract medium at 30℃ with shaking at 150 rpm for 36 h; *Bacillus stearothermophilus* was cultured on nutrient broth medium at 55℃ with shaking at 200 rpm for 24 h; and *Azotobacter brevis* was cultured on Assumption medium at 30℃ with shaking at 180 rpm for 48 h. After cultivation, the bacterial cultures were collected by centrifugation, freeze-dried, and pulverized. The cells were then mixed evenly according to the above weight percentages to obtain the compound microbial agent. The effective viable count of this compound microbial agent was determined to be 2.8 × 10⁻⁶. 9 CFU / g.

[0027] Example 2: Straw and Livestock Manure Composting This embodiment uses the compound microbial agent prepared in Example 1 for composting. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Raw material pretreatment: Select corn stalks and crush them to 2-3 cm; select pig manure as livestock manure, and mix the crushed corn stalks and pig manure at a mass ratio of 1:3; determine that the initial moisture content of the mixture is 52% and the C / N ratio is 38:1, add water to the mixture to adjust the moisture content to 60%, and add urea to adjust the C / N ratio to 30:1.

[0028] 2. Inoculation with microbial agent: The compound microbial agent prepared in Example 1 is mixed and diluted with an appropriate amount of wheat bran at a mass ratio of 1:10. The mixture is then evenly sprinkled into the pretreated mixture. The inoculation amount is 0.5% of the dry weight of the mixture. The mixture is then thoroughly stirred.

[0029] 3. Composting fermentation: After inoculation, the mixture is piled into a pile 1.2m high and 2.5m wide and placed in an open composting yard for aerobic fermentation. During the fermentation process, the pile temperature is monitored daily and controlled at around 60℃. The pile is turned over every 2 days, and the depth of each turn is 1 / 2 of the total pile height to ensure good aeration.

[0030] 4. Post-fermentation treatment: On the 18th day of fermentation, the temperature of the pile naturally drops to room temperature of 25°C. The material is loose, odorless, and dark brown in color. At this time, post-fermentation is carried out for 2 days to obtain the decomposed compost product.

[0031] The test results of the well-rotted compost product showed that the organic matter content was 35.2%, the total nitrogen content was 2.3%, the total phosphorus content was 1.8%, and the total potassium content was 2.7%, which met the requirements of the organic fertilizer standard.

[0032] Example 3: Effect of different inoculum amounts on composting efficiency In this embodiment, different inoculum amounts of compound microbial agent were set at 0.3%, 0.5%, and 0.8%, while the other composting conditions were the same as in Example 2. The composting time and nutrient content of the composted products were recorded, and the results are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1: Effects of different inoculum amounts on composting efficiency

[0033] As shown in Table 1, with the increase of inoculation amount, the composting time is shortened and the nutrient content of the composted product is slightly improved. However, when the inoculation amount increases from 0.5% to 0.8%, the composting time is shortened by only 1 day and the nutrient content is not significantly improved. Considering both composting efficiency and cost, an inoculation amount of 0.5% is appropriate.
