Importance of nitrogen in the decomposition of various organic substances in the Bihugas process

Abstract

About 30 percent of the organic matter is decomposed during the fermentation process, 20-25 percent of the organic N being mineralized to NH/sub 3/. Trials with straw, sisal, peat, etc., showed that additional mineral N promotes the fermentation process of substances which decompose rapidly or are poor in easily available N compounds, except potato starch which decomposes without any notable fixation of N. Results did not confirm claims on the beneficial effects of hormone preparations and on killing of pathogenic typhus-enteritis bacteria during fermentation.
