Abstract:
      The effects of co-composting biogas residue of kitchen organic slurry(BR)and black soldier fly larval frass(LF)were investigated in this study. Five mixing ratios(BR∶LF)were designed:T1(4∶0), T2(3∶1), T3(1∶1), T4(1∶3), and T5(0∶4). Composting experiments were conducted for 30 days. The results demonstrated that compared with the nitrate nitrogen content in T1, it increased by 72.63%, 77.93%, 88.69%, and 85.99% in T2, T3, T4, and T5, respectively. In addition, the highest organic matter degradation rate, humic substance content, humic acid content and HA/FA were obtained in the T2 treatment with values of 13.80%, 107.55 g·kg-1, 79.20 g·kg-1 and 2.79, respectively. After 30 days of composting, the seed germination index of each treatment group exceeded 80%, of which T1~T4 exceeded 100%. However, the electrical conductivity of the composting product increased significantly with an increase in LF(P<0.05). The results indicate that the addition of LF can strengthen nitrogen fixation and improve the fertilizer efficiency of composting products. Meanwhile, co-composting can improve the organic matter degradation rate and enhance the humification process. Nevertheless, excessive LF increases the salinity of composting, and thus, produces a certain negative influence on plant growth. A comprehensive comparison of all indicators revealed that the optimal composting group was obtained when the BR∶LF ratio was 3∶1.
