This study aimed to develop a rapid composting method using Trichoderma harzianum culture of liquid state. Assessment physico-chemical properties and nutritional qualities composted crop residues generated by Tricho-composting is another concern. Different types (Rice straw, Sugarcane bagasse, Black gram Mustard straw) were with T. IMI 392432 in randomized block design three replications. Composting was conducted cement slabs, maintaining pH range 6.55 7.40. Temperature peaked at 10°-15°C during thermophilic activity before declining. Moisture content decreased gradually, 15-20% retained the finished compost. Weight loss ranged from 40.50% 51.60%, decomposition time varied 67.33 96.00 days wherein mustard straw decomposed fast. bagasse slowly black faster despite having less carbon. exhibited significant weight though their carbon abundant initially. Despite losses time, sugarcane rice longer than other residues. The highest phosphorus potash found treatment T2. T4 comprise showed lowest 0.19 % which non-significant containing Easily produced inoculums accelerated process accordance C:N ratio demonstrating its potential for efficient management
