ABSTRACT
This study focuses on application of formulated microbial consortium for the treatment of domestic solid wastes and makes it as manure for agriculture. In that context treatment by Formulated Microbial Consortium, along with Bio Fertilizer Microorganisms has been tried for treatment of municipality solid waste. Basically, this technology is using natively available microorganisms. The cultured microbial solution was used for treatment of municipal solid wastes. In the first heap, there was no treatment had been done which was called control. The second heap was treated with formulated microbial consortium containing nine microbes which were focused on decomposition and treatment of municipal solid waste. The third heap was treated with Formulated Microbial Consortium along with Bio Fertilizer Microorganism which was mainly focused on enrichment of nutrients. After treatment parameter has been analysed to evaluate the performance of the microbial consortium. After the investigation, the nutrients level was increased in the third heap and the composting time considerably decreased which increased the hope to treat municipal solid wastes effectively. The results showed significant (p<0.05) differences in the amount of available and total NPK levels.
