Description
Summary:The effect of fungal inoculation on the decomposition of wheat straw, farm waste (vegetation) and a mixture of farm wastes, cattle dung and soil, was studied under natural conditions and it was observed that the inoculation with fungi enhanced the decomposition of wheat straw and farm wastes, but there was no effect on the decomposition of the mixed material. Inocula of cattle dung, compost and soil were as efficient in enhancing decomposition as fungal cultures.
