Residue-decomposing microbial formulations can be optimized for large-scale use by selecting efficient lignocellulose-degrading strains, combining them with supportive carriers (biochar, compost, polymers) for shelf-life and field stability, and applying them with crop residues under proper moisture, aeration, and nutrient balance. This accelerates residue breakdown, enhances soil organic carbon stabilization, and improves overall soil health.
