Our study demonstrated that it is possible to maintain the pillmillipedes
in microcosms cost-effectively under normal
conditions for production of manure for sustainable agriculture.
Partially decomposed mixed leaf litter serves as
good feedstock for production of millipede manure. Similarly,
the urban organic wastes are also suitable for bioconversion
into manure by millipedes and cut down the extent of
landfill [28]. The pill-millipedes serve as better candidates in
manure production as their lifespan is up to 11 years [10].
Evaluation of quality of millipede manure by specific combination
and proportion of the mixed leaf litter facilitates
commercial production. Future studies should evaluate the
occurrence of plant growth-promoting bacteria (e.g. rhizobia)
and fungi (e.g. mycorrhizas) in millipede manures.
Further insights are also necessary on the improvement of
quality of millipede manure by assessment of natural and
inoculated microbial bioprotectants (e.g. Trichoderma).
