Abstract
Sheep manure and mushroom residue are common agricultural waste which threaten environment but rich in mineral elements and organic matter. Even though fermentation and adding it to soil for crop growth is a commonly used approach, there are concerns about how efficient the fermentation process is and whether the microbial community remains safe for both the crops and those working in agriculture. We have discovered a composite microbial agent, previously known as CMA, that demonstrates significant efficacy in the fermentation of mushroom residue and sheep manure. Despite its high activity, the impact of this microbial agent on soil nutrient release, soil microbial composition, and plant growth remains still uncertain. After fermenting sheep manure and mushroom residue with Bacillus CMA, this study investigated the fermentation products mixed with vermiculite and perlite for the cultivation of tomato. The results demonstrate that the composite substrate align closely within the ideal range for seedling substrates. Notably, compounded with CMA compost products and vermiculite in a 2:1 ratio, yields the most favorable growth for tomato, which may be attributed to the increased nutrient release and most favorable microbial conditions. Moreover, it significantly decreased the abundance of pathogenic bacteria harmful to human and animal health, thereby reducing the risk to individuals engaged in field labor, and mitigating the threat of plant pathogenic bacteria. Sheep manure and mushroom residue fermentation with CMA added significantly promoted tomatoes growth and reduced the risk of diseases in crops, animals, and people. These findings hold significant implications also for the reuse of agricultural biowaste and residues, besides the crop growth and safety of humans and animals in agricultural environments.
