Abstract;This paper explains the following items on the titled composting technology: 1) Four test composts were prepared, with initial water content and the addition ratio of Actinomycetes seed (I) on dry weigh base shown in parentheses in this order; Run A (68%, 0%), Run B (69%, 52%), Run C (66%, 58%), Run D (61%, 70%), 2) verification test method; samples were composted to 300 mm height, followed by 7 days of natural ventilation and stirring with a Scoop type agitator, 3) results; more addition of I promoted shift to high temperature fermentation and reached at maximum concentration of lower fatty acid (II) in earlier stage (there was no specific relation between the concentration and the addition amount of I), along with earlier attainment to maximum odor concentration (the maximum odor level was equivalent in four samples); 4) retention of I was better in samples with lower water content but the number had no effect on utilization effect of II and 5) conclusion; I accelerates fermentation and early stage deodoration, however, Actinomycetes itself has no practical effects on them.
