Since the yields of the both treatments with CMR were higher than those of treatments without CMR,
it could be deduced that the CMR had an indeed function on the decomposition of celery waste and
carnation stalk. The CMR consequently enhanced decomposition of the residues and the release of the
available N, P, and K was at appropriate vegetable growth stages. Thus, the crops were able to utilize
more available N, P, and K in soil, which was evident by the increased yields of Chinese cabbage.
