Microbial inoculation enhanced the thermophilic phase and improved final maturity-related properties of coffee husk composting for tomato seedling substrate production
Coffee husk composting is constrained by high lignocellulose content, slow decomposition, and residual phytotoxicity. Whether microbial inoculation can accelerate this process while producing a horticultural growing medium remains unclear. We compared coffee husks composted with a commercial microbial agent (a consorti...
