Fungi Growth
This image shows fungal growth on food.
Fungi can grow in most environments where there are sources of food and warmth but thrive especially when there is 65% humidity and above.
Controlling humidity levels is often the key to controlling fungal growth.
Biodegradation
Generally the last step in biodegradation testing involves testing the phytotoxicity of a given application.
When a solid material has been tested, the compost generated through the process of biodegradation is used as the soil material.
Seeds are then planted and are allowed to germinate over a specified course of time.
Whether the seeds germinate and how much they grow determines the relative toxicity of a given compost.
