The nitrogen enriched phosphocompost was prepared utilizing the abundantly available green biomass of Lantana camara and supplemented with 12.5 and 25.0 per cent levels of rock phosphate, 1.0% fertilizer nitrogen (urea), 5.0 and 10.0 per cent pyrite or by inoculation with Azotobacter chroococcum and Aspergillus awamori. The compost mix-up was decomposed for 90 days and analyzed for its quality parameters like organic carbon, total nitrogen, ammonical & nitrate nitrogen, citrate soluble & total phosphorous, pH,
