ITS metagenomic analysis of red amaranth grown with two different soil types.
The quality of produce grown using different organic waste composts was analyzed with respect to the fungal contamination. The analysis was done using ITS metagenomics. The soil was amended with different composts such as leaf waste compost, cow dung manure, municipal waste compost, kitchen waste compost and vermicompost. The produce grown with chemical fertilizer amendment was used as control. The two soils from different origins were used viz. river basin soil and institutional residential soil.
