Answer:
For rapid decomposition by microbes, the substrate should have a C/N ratio of 10-20 (OPTION-A).
Explanation:
What is the C/N ratio?
- C/N ratio is defined as the ratio of the mass of carbon to the mass of nitrogen present in a compound.
- C/N ratio is significantly important in case of determining the composting time required by microorganisms.
- Microorganisms rely on nitrogen content mainly. A substance with a higher nitrogen content is decomposed faster by the microorganisms.
- A high C/N ratio signifies that the carbon content in the substance is higher, thus a substance with a higher C/N ratio will take more time to get decomposed, and vice-versa.
