Abstract

The zoocomposts obtained by processing of commercial products (vegetables and fruit-and-vegetable mixtures) by Hermetia illucens larvae has been studied. The obtained zoocomposts are characterized by alkaline pH values (8.1–9.5) and a water content of 40–48%. The C/N ratio in vegetable zoocomposts is 19.5–20.1, while in the fruit-and-vegetable mixture this ratio is 13.6. All studied zoocomposts contained nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium: the N : P : K ratio averaged 1.3 : 2.6 : 1. The composts are also characterized by high ammonium nitrogen content (up to 2500 mg N–NH3/100 g) and ability to fix nitrogen, indicating the presence of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The numbers of microorganisms in zoocomposts ranged from 2.7 ± 0.5 to 11.9 ± 1.8 billion cells/g. According to the functional diversity, the microbial communities of the resulting zoocomposts are characterized as stable, sustainable microbial systems.
