Microbial diversity in compost tea
The microbial diversity in compost tea ‘s prepared from different batches of the same compost was assessed by a serial dilution method on semi-selective and selective media (Naidu et al. 2010). Bacterial and fungal counts were enumerated as colony forming units per ml
(CFUs ml-1). Each batch was replicated five times, and each experimental replicate represents an average of ten readings.
