Abstract
Coir pith wastes were collected and analyzed for their physico-chemical properties. The result clearly revealed that the collected Coir pith waste was high potential for using as an organic manure. The reduction of Cellulose, Hemicellulose and Lignin contents were rich in the treatment T4 (Coir pith waste + Cow dung + Pleurotus sajor-caju + Earthworm) followed by the treatment T3 (Coir pith waste + Cow dung + Pleurotus sajor-caju) and T2 (Coir pith waste + Cow dung). Less reduction was recorded in the treatment T1 (Coir pith waste alone). The treatment T4 showed maximum efficiency on 90 days of incubation rather than 120 days of incubation due to the maturity of compost, there are no carbonic compounds to be break down and used for inoculated metabolism.
