A - Immature compost can have activity ranging from 10 to 100%. Mature compost should have activity between 2 to 10%.
B - Desired fungal activity and biomass depends greatly on the plant being grown. Desired range given here is for a 1:1 compost.
C - Hyphal diameter of 2.0 indicates mostly actinomycete hyphae, 2.5 indicates community is mainly ascomycete, typical soil fungi for grasslands, diameters of 3 or higher indicate community is dominated by beneficial fungi
Season, moisture, soil and organic matter must be considered in determining optimal foodweb structure.
