Landfill gas (LFG) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) generated by anaerobic degradation of decomposable municipal solid wastes (MSW). LFG contains (50-60%) of methane (CH4) and (40–50%) carbon dioxide (CO2). If a landfill is neither aerated nor equipped with gas capture systems, the LFG emissions, mainly CH4, in the cover soil is best reduced by using a biocover. Biocovers normally act as a biof...

Organic fertilizer regimens consisting of combinations of composts (yard waste, swine manure, or spent mushroom substrate) and liquid fertilizers (fishor plant-based) were evaluated against conventional hydroponic fertilizers in two experiments with greenhouse tomatoes grown in peat-based substrate. Crop yield and fruit quality were evaluated and several assays of substrate microbial activity a...

: This study aims to determine the quality of compost a mixture Oyster Mushroom Baglog waste and Cow Manure, using Promi (Promoting Microbes), MA-11 (Microba Alfaafa-11), BPF (Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria) decomposers. The experiment was arranged in Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consisting 4 ( Four) treatments: P0 = Mushrooms Manure with ratio 1:2 without decomposers, P1 plus Promi, P2...

Cultivation of the oyster mushroom on horse manure and wheat straw compost without nutrient supplementation was investigated. The growing, yield fruiting body size effects open trays substrate bags were determined. Incubation period inoculated compared. bagged yielded higher growth rate than tray compost. bodies smaller, pile thinner as compared to mushrooms bags, which bigger, fresh strong. Ho...

Cauliflower mushroom (Sparassis crispa) is well known as a brown-rot fungi selectively degrades heartwood of wood, and that has potential anticancer and immune enhancing activity; thus its production is increasing in Korea. The mushroom is cultivated artificially using plastic pots filled with medium material, such as lignocellulosic biomass and some additives. However, most of the medium remai...
