1 Plant growth-promoting potentials of sweet sorghum bagasse compost S. Gopalakrishnan Principal Scientist (Microbiology) ICRISAT
2 Introduction Sweet sorghum is a major feed stock for both sugar based (1G) and ligno-cellulosic (2G) ethanol production. Sugar extraction from stalks provides bagasse as a byproduct, representing about 30% of the plant fresh weight. Bagasse is used for livestock feed, co-generation of power and organic soil amendment. Direct amendment of bagasse in soil also leads to phytotoxicity and soil nitrogen immobilization. Composting of bagasse is recommended, as they are safe and beneficial to plant growth.
3 Composting of sweet sorghum bagasse Bagasse contains low levels of nutrients (both macro and micro) although it is rich in organic C, giving it a high CN ratio. Hence, N rich organic material added to bagasse in order to obtain the optimum initial CN ratio of 25 required for composting. Objectives: 1. Standardize amendments required for efficient composting of bagasse 2. Standardize microbes for efficient composting of bagasse. 3. Evaluate the PGP and biocontrol traits of microbes that can enhance the final product of bagasse compost that include N 2 - fixers, p-solubilizers and producers of siderophore, indole acetic acid, ß-1,3-glucanase, chitinase, lipase and hydrocyanic acid. 4. Evaluate the value added bagasse compost for their PGP in sorghum
4 Amendments and microbes used in this study Bagasse and amendments such as rice straw; FYM; fallen 2:1 and 3:1; N and P requirement, Locally available earthworms were also used. Microbes: 1. Myceliophthora thermophila (ATCC-48104) 2. Aspergillus awamori Fungi (3) 3. Chaetomium virescens (ATCC-32319) 4. Bacillus subtilis (ATCC-6633) 5. Bacillus aquimaris (MP-4) 6. Bacillus licheniformis (MP-6) Bacteria (6) 7. Bacillus infantis (MP-7) 8. Bacillus flexus (MP-8) 9. Bacillus sp. (BCB-19) 10. Streptomyces sp. (MAI-1) Actinomycetes (1)
5 Protocol used for composting bagasse A total of 10 kg (Pilot study) or 200 kg (Large scale) of organic wastes (SB-rice straw/fym) in 3:1 ratio. Soaked in water for 5 min. Disperse rock phosphate (5%), nitrogen (0.38%) and cow dung slurry (10 kg in 15 L water) in organic waste. Disperse microbial cultures (one pocket of 70g; contains 10-8 cells g -1 ) layer by layer, mix and transfer into the pits/ground Cover the pits/heap with rice straw bundle in nets and un-disturb for days. At the end of 20 days, mix it well and add water if required. Cover the pits/heap again and undisturbed for another 10 days. At the end of 30 days, repeat the above step and add earthworms (about 500 numbers) and terminate at 60 days.

40 Conclusions Bagasse compost prepared with rice straw (as 3:2:1 along with microbes significantly and consistently enhanced all the PGP traits including plant height (37-44%), leaf dry weight (63-81%), shoot dry weight (38-66%), root dry weight (87-89%), leaf area (75-83%) and root length (37-48%) at 35 DAS; shoot dry weight (40-58%) and root dry weight (24-38%) at 70 DAS and shoot dry weight (30-46%), panicle dry weight (40-51%), number of grains/plant (20-62%) and grain weight/plant (37-65%) at harvest. Among the three microbes tested, Aspergillus awamori and Myceliophtora thermophila significantly and consistently enhanced all the PGP traits compared to Bacillus subtilis.
41 Overall conclusions Identified 3 promising microbes (A. awamori, M. thermophila and B. subtilis) suitable for composting of SB. The 3 selected microbes significantly enhances macro- and micronutrient contents. All 3 were found to produce PGP & biocontrol traits including IAA, HCN, siderophore, cellulase and chitinase. Also solubilize P and inhibit M. phaseolina. All 3 were also found significantly enhance traits including shoot weight, root weight, panicle weight, grain number and weight. Among the 3, A. awamori and M. thermophila significantly and consistently enhanced all the PGP traits compared to B. subtilis.
