BackgroundWater hyacinth (Eichhorniacrassipes) is one of the most uncompromising weeds in the whole world. Its adverse effects due to fast growth rate are main physical interference with fishing and navigation. Water hyacinth also causes eutrophication due to the large release of organic nutrients after its degradation, consequentially deterioration of water quality and also adversely affecting aquatic flora and fauna. Therefore, composting is one of the best methods for control and utilization… Expand

Effect of inoculating microbes in municipal solid waste composting on characteristics of humic acid.
TLDR
Municipal solid waste (MSW) compost contains a significant amount of humic substances, and mixed inoculation of MSW with complex microorganisms and lingo-cellulolytic during composting gave a greater degree of HA aromatization than inoculation with complexmicroorganisms or lingospecifics alone, indicating that inoculation in composting would improve the degree humification and maturation processes.
