Municipal waste compost was evaluated under open field conditions for replacing synthetic fertilizers in a vegetable three-year succession. Three rates, 45 t ha–1, 30 ha–1 and 15 (dry matter), at combined with 25%, 50% of the full nitrogen rate, were compared to none fertilizations. Crop succession was: tomato followed by endive first year; eggplant and, then, broccoli second endive/broccoli, t...

Utilization of organic matter is one very big step in increasing soil fertility and will determine productivity. The role does not only play a providing plant nutrients but far more important improving the physical, chemical, biological properties soil. This related that through application matter, efforts can be made to rehabilitate degraded paddy research aims provide its physical properties,...

separation approaches affect organic contaminant levels. Thus, this fact sheet will focus primarily on heavy metal contaminants. Those metals of greatest concern in compost—cadmium, mercury, and lead—can be harmful to animals and humans at relatively low concentrations and tend to accumulate in soil, plants, and animals. For most of these potentially harmful metals, the levels in MSW composts a...

Farmyard manure, an amendment traditionally used for improving the fertility of sandy soils in arid climates, is becoming scarce and expensive. Its shortage makes it necessary to evaluate, at field scale, suitability medium-term performance other cheap, highly available substitutes. A trial was established analyze effects a single application three organic residues on barley yield nutrient upta...

Soil quality decline represents a significant constraint on the productivity and sustainability of agriculture in the tropics. In this study, the influence of biochar, compost and mixtures of the two on soil fertility, maize yield and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions was investigated in a tropical Ferralsol. The treatments were: 1) control with business as usual fertilizer (F); 2) 10 t ha(-1) bio...

Background & objectives: Increasing solid waste has made waste management an important challenge in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to comparative evaluation of the application of incineration technologies and other waste disposal methods in Iran using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in 2019. Methods: In this descriptive-applied research, after making a hierarchy, the...

The trial aims to improve the protection and management of soil, well-being plant quality production in wine supply chain organic biodynamic, using an innovative product “ZEOWINE” resulting from composting waste zeolite chain. At present, use zeolites agriculture is a fast-spreading practice; their application soils (both as natural combination with mineral fertilizers) not only increases but a...

In-vessel composting, a contribution to sustainable solid waste management, was conducted on source-separated waste materials generated in Abeokuta city, south-west Nigeria. Feedstock (household, agricultural and municipal waste) and the resultant composts were chemically characterized using standard procedures. Identification and changes in the microbial population during composting, the effec...
