Abstract: The increase of garden waste causes severe pressure to environment. Microbial agents inoculated in garden waste compost can accelerate the maturity of composting, enhance the fertilizer’s efficiency and improve the utilization ratio of resources, which has shown favorable application prospect in terms of garden waste reuse. Starting from the current processing methods and applications of microbial agents in composting technology, the function and role of microorganisms in the composting of garden waste and fermented microbial fertilizer were introduced, and the important parameters of monitoring compost maturity and the technical methods of detecting the changes of microorganism’s community in fermentation process were described. Finally, the application of microbial agents inoculated in the composting technology of garden waste was prospected, which is expected to provide a reference for the research and development of related areas.

Key words: microbial agents, composting technology, detection technology, resource development
