Research progress on bio-organic fertilizer from Chinese materia medica residues / 中草药

ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of traditional Chinese medicine industry, a large number of Chinese medicine residues were produced as byproducts. A large number of cellulose, protein, lipid and a variety of trace elements in Chinese medicine residues can be used to produce products with new value as the recyclable biomass resources. Chinese medicine residues can be transformed into bio-organic fertilizer through the application of biotechnology, which improves the utilization ratio of these materials. It is a good way to mine potential out of them. On the basis of reviewing domestic and foreign literature, this paper mainly focuses on producing bio-organic fertilizer by making full use of Chinese medicine residues. The practical significance of bio-organic fertilizer research, the value and main ways of recycling residues, the effects of bio-organic fertilizer, the fermentation microbial flora, and the functional microbial flora were described in details in this paper.
