Abstract

In this study, development biofertilizer is produced from sugarcane residues was compared with commercial biological fertilizers. Development Fertilizers from sugarcane wastes have been analyzed chemically and microbiologically. Factors affecting the ripening of the compost and growth of microorganisms in the dander, (temperature, humidity and pH) were monitored. The final values ​​for each were 45, 30 and 8., respectively. 





           The compost ripening was followed by the analysis of organic matter and organic carbon, their respective values were 20.7 and 63.54, respectively, and the C: N ratio was 1:16 upon completion of ripening. The ratio of major elements N, P, K, which was 2.4, 4.78 And 0.06 respectively at the end of the ripening period. Bacterial isolated from sugarcane wastes were belonged to Bacillus genera, while fungal isolates belonged to Aspergillus genera.
