Even though a decreasing trend of EC value was noticed for all the treatments at the 90th day of the experiment from its initial level, the EC value further decreased under microbial consortium-inoculated treatments than the un-inoculated ones, and T 6 treatment (haulm + shell @ 3:1 + C n ) had the lowest best EC value of 3.36 ± 0.088 dS m -1 .

Like the other two enzymes (amylase and phosphatase), the protease activity showed an increasing trend up to the 30th day of the decomposition period (4.78 and 4.16 mg g -1 h -1 in 2022 and 2023, respectively), and subsequently started to decline as the composting period progressed, reaching its lowest point at the 90th day (1.64 and 1.56 mg g -1 h -1 in 2022 and 2023, respectively) of the RC treatment ( Table 10 ).
