  • Volvariella-treated Eucalyptus sawdust stimulates wheat and onion growth
    Biodegradation, 1996
    Co-Authors: V Ramamurthy, R. K. Sharma, K. R. Yadav, J. Kaur, Dev Vrat, R. M. Kothari
    Abstract:

    Conversion of sawdust, a major waste generated by the timber industry, to an agricultural supplement was explored. Beds made with a mixture of Eucalyptus sawdust and Soil reduced the chlorophyll content and the growth rate of wheat seedlings. However, following treatment with Volvariella volvaceae and urea, the sawdust in growth beds enhanced both the chlorophyll content and growth of wheat seedlings. Application of treated sawdust to Soil increased the biomass of both bulb and foliage of onion. This represents a small beginning in the conversion of an industrial solid waste into a Soil Conditioner for enhancing agricultural productivity.

  • A sawdust-derived Soil Conditioner promotes plant growth and improves water-holding capacity of different types of Soils
    Journal of Industrial Microbiology, 1996
    Co-Authors: A Rajor, R Sharma, Vk Sood, V Ramamurthy
    Abstract:

    Sawdust, a bulky waste generated by wood processing industries, has very few profitable and ecofriendly uses and poses a problem of proper disposal. Treatment with the fungus Volvariella volvaceae and a dilute solution of urea converted sawdust from a phytoinhibitory material to a phytostimulatory Soil Conditioner. In different types of Soils, the Soil Conditioner increased the moisture retention and facilitated the cohesive interaction of particles. Analyses of the major biopolymers of sawdust after fungal treatment indicated that levels of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin decreased; however, these changes did not account for the plant growth stimulatory property attained by this material.
