Abstract
High carbon and low nitrogen contents in the organic materials often hinder the decomposition process. However with supplements of some activators like nitrogen and micro-organisms the rate of biodegradation could be hastened. In this study the biodegradation of coir waste was enhanced by the addition of some well-composted garden soil and nitrogen. The additions of garden soil and nitrogen resulted in significantly higher weight loss and C/N reduction of coir waste as compared with the untreated material.
