【Objective】 The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of inoculation of different microbial agentson the aerobic composting of cattle manure compost.【Method】 The compost material consisted of cow dung,mushroomresidue and tailing vegetables in a wet weight ratio of 5∶4∶1 to keep the C/N of the compost at 25~30. 4 composttreatments were designed,with inoculations of the microbial agents CDS,XY4 and LL at 1. 5% of the volume ofthe agent to the mass of the pile in 3 treatment groups with no addition of the agent in treatment group CK. After 38d of compost treatment,each treatment was replicated three times. The changes of compost indexes such as temperature,pH,water content,C/N,EC,total nitrogen,ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen under different composttreatment conditions were studied.【Result】 CK,CDS,XY4,and LL maintained high temperature for 22 d,23 d,24d,and 26 d,respectively. Treatment LL maintained high temperature for the longest time and the highest temperaturewas 72. 53 ℃ . XY4 was second only to LL. The water content of CK,CDS,XY4,and LL decreased to34. 64%,43. 29%,38. 66%,and 44. 1%,respectively,at the end of compost. The water loss of CDS,XY4 and LLtreatment was significantly higher than CK (P<0. 05),and the water evaporation rate of LL was the highest. At theend of compost,the pH of CK,CDS,XY4 and LL were 8. 71,8. 62,8. 25 and 8. 34,respectively,and the pH of XY4and LL were significantly lower than CK (P<0. 01),and the pH of XY4 inoculated compost was the lowest. TheEC of each treatment group ranged from 1. 75 to 2. 47 ms/cm,which had reached the state of decomposition,andthere was no significant difference( P>0. 05) between the EC of each fungicide on the compost. The C/N at the endof CK,CDS,XY4 and LL compost treatment decreased by 32. 24%,38. 75%,48. 59% and 44. 51%,respectively,compared with the initial compost treatment,and the effect of XY4 treatment was significantly different from that ofCK( P<0. 01). The total nitrogen content of all treatments showed a trend of slow increase,and the total N contentof each treatment CK,CDS,XY4,and LL at the end of compost were 14. 46 g/kg,16. 48 g/kg,16. 54 g/kg,16. 54g/kg,and 16. 54 g/kg,respectively. The content of NH4+ ‐N decreased to 1. 47~1. 64g/kg at the end of compos,andthere was no significant difference( P>0. 05) between control CK and treatment CDS,XY4 and LL. The content ofnitrate‐N of each bacterial treatment increased significantly (P<0. 05) from 4d to the end of compost,and the orderwas CDS> LL>XY4>CK.【Conclusion】 Adding microbial agent XY4 with LL composting is more effective.
