계분(鷄糞)과 볏짚 혼합물을 Thermoactinomycetes vulgaris로 처리하므로써 악취가 나지 않고 작물(作物) 생육(生育)을 촉진시키는 생물비료(生物肥料)를 제조하였다. 비료(肥料) 제조(製調)의 처리조건은 온도 $50^{circ}C;pH;8.0{sim}8.5$, 수분함량(水分含量) 60% 였으며 발효(醱酵) 2일(日) 후에는 악취 성분으로 알려진 휘발성 지방산이 사라졌으며 결과적으로 계분(鷄糞)의 악취가 제거되었다. 제조(製調)된 비료(肥料)의 비료실험(肥效實驗)은 pot에서 Brassica rapa var. previdis의 생육(生育)을 조사(調査)함으로서 행하였다. 생물비료(生物肥料)는 황산암모니아, 건조계분(鷄糞), 평지깻묵 보다 작물생육(作物生育)을 촉진 시켰으며 다량(多量)의 시용(試用)으로도 생물(生物)의 생육(生育)저해가 작았다. 질소함량으로 pot당(當) 0.8g에 해당하는 생물비료(生物肥料)를 함유(含有)하는 시용구(試用區)에서 작물(作物)의 최대생산량(最大生産量)을 보였다.
A biofertilizer, having been deordorized and showing promotive effect on plant growth, was manufactured from the rice straw and hen feces by use of Thermoactinomycetes vulgaris. This strain grew vigorously on rice straw mixed with unsterilized hen feces at $50^{circ}C,;pH;8.0{sim}8.5$ and moisture content of 60% and got rid hen feces of malodour during treatment. The growth of plant(Brassica raga var. previdis) was experimented on humic volcanic ash soil, using pot in thermostatically controlled greenhouse. The biofertilizer was applied as N-fertilizer and air-dried lien feces or ammonium sulfate were used for comparison with the biofertilizer. The effect on. plant growth was evaluated on the basis of the amount of nitrogen as fertilizer, under a loading of 0.1g N/pot, all samples showed a promotion effect of plant growth. But ammonium sulfate and air-dried hen feces inhibited plant growth at the nitrogen content over 0.2 and 0.4g N/pot, respectively, whereas the biofertilizer showed a good promotion effect on plant growth without growth inhibition even at nitrogen content of 0.8g N/pot.
