Abstract In Morocco, the potential of agricultural waste is estimated at 34.7 MT/year. Composting an effective way for management. If badly monitored, it can affect environment. Initial C/N ratio (C/Ni) and aeration appear to be major factors impacting composting process. This work studied effect C/Ni turning frequency (TF) on olive pomace turkey manure co-composting process final compost quali...

Four containerized deciduous ornamental shrubs [deutzia (Deutzia gracilis L.), silverleaf dogwood (Cornus nlba 'Elegantissima'), red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea L.), and ninebark (Physocarpirs optilifolius L.)] were grown during each of two separate growing seasons using 12 different immature (nonaged) composts as media (year one, 12 weeks from start of windrowing; year two, 16-weeks) and als...

A composting process was conducted under optimal conditions for 150 d, obtaining three biomasses at different levels of maturity: raw material (RM), fresh compost obtained after 11 d of composting (FC), and evolved compost (EC) obtained after 150 d of composting. During the composting process, HAs were extracted and fully characterized by mass balance, DRIFT, and 1H and 13C-nuclear magnetic res...
