This study examined macro-nutrient content of solid waste compost to determine the potential of the compost for soil fertility amelioration in Ghana. Heavy metal concentrations in the compost were also examined to assess the potential health implication of compost application in urban and peri-urban agriculture. It was observed that the overall NPK concentration was low in the different compost...

this study was done with the aim of investigating the kinetics of available phosphorus changes in treated soils with municipal solid waste compost, fertilizer and the mixture of these in two levels of first and second percent in eight calcareous soil samples and in a period of zero to 3600 hours in incubation conditions (fc moisture and 250c). the results showed that with time increasing, extra...

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...

in order to study the influence of municipal waste compost and chemical fertilizer on yield and yield components in maize (zea mays l.) an experiment was conducted at research farm of sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during 2007. the experiment was arranged in split plots based on complete randomized block design with two factors and three replications. main plot incl...

soil compaction is one of the most prevailed limitations for crop growth. the use of organic matters as fertilizer on agricultural soils can reduce the effects of soil compaction and provide the nutrients for the plants. so, a factorial experiment was carried out in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the first factor was the source and amount of organic fertilizer (far...

Araucaria excelsa L. of Araucariaceae family is a beautiful conifer which has a high economic importance in the flower industry. A factorial experiment based on randomized completely block design with two factors: 1. Irrigation intervals in 2, 4 and 6 days (I1, I2 and I3) and 2. The growth bed in pots 3 L included M1 (100 % v/v cocopeat), M2 (100%  municipal waste compost), M3 (100 % vermicompo...
