Theuse ofNisargruna biogas plant is an efficient approach to recycle the biodegradable wastematerials into valuable products like organic manure, methane carbon dioxide and water. In the current study, the manureobtained from five different Nisargruna biogas plants was analyzed for its characteristic properties. These properties included their chemical composition (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur and macro/micro-nutrients), water holding capacity and heavy metal concentration and coliform bacteria and fungi. The results indicated the presence of a high concentration of macro- and micronutrients, and the absence of coliforms. The samples with good nutrient contents were used as a carrier material forAzotobactersp., Rhizobiumsp. and phosphate solubilizing Bacillussp. On analysis, themanurewas found to be useful as carrier for selected cultures even after six months of production, hence confirming its stability and practical application.
