Only 42% of Uganda’s population has access to electricity. The continues use firewood and charcoal as a source energy, which leads depletion forests thus climate change. purpose this study was assess the potential biogas production from jackfruit waste, banana peels, pineapple peels when co-digested with cow dung an alternative energy source. Substrates for each waste were varying proportions (...

A pot experiment was conducted in the open net house of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh from January to June, 2007, to study the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth, leaf yield, chlorophyll and protein contents of Stevia rebaudiana (Bert.). The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with three replic...

Transformation of industrial sludges into vermicompost is of double interest: on the one hand, a waste is converted into value added product, and, on the other, it controls a pollutant that is a consequence of increasing industrialization. This paper reports the feasibility of utilization of vermicomposting technology for nutrient recovery from industrial sludge in laboratory scale experiment e...

Composting or decomposition is a method of processing solid waste which has high content (70% -80%). Empty fruit bunches from the Crude Palm Oil Factories and fronds palm oil (TM) plants have potential to be used as organic fertilizer. without decomposer takes long time seven months, so bio activator needed speed up process. Research with aim determining influence various activators in accelera...

The conducted work included , eradication of pathogenic bacteria by the recycling of some organic residues through compost processing, and investigation on the impacts of using such produced composts for inducing the safe agricultural production. The organic residues were mixed at ratios to attain comparable initial C/N ratio of about 30:1 through all the tested heaps before composting. The com...

In this study treatment of palm oil mill effluent was carried out with the intention to produce hydrogen during the anaerobic degradation process. The hydrogen generating microflora was isolated from the cow dung based on pH adjustment (pH 5) coupled with heat treatment (2 h). The microflora was initially tested for its hydrogen generating capability for varying fermentation pH of 4, 5, 6 and 7...

Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF), utilizing natural resources, multiple cropping systems, and cow-dung- urine-based products to improve soil biology, has been practiced by thousands of farmers in India. However, without any scientific proof, this traditional ancient technique is mocked as a bugged theory the community. In current study, we have investigated effect Jeevamrit—cow-dung- formulat...

The major purpose of this study was to examine the advantages and implications of biogastechnology in the agriculture sector. Biogas is one of many biomass energy sources, which includeanything that was once alive and that can generate energy (except for fossil fuels, which are notrenewable). To talk of biogas is to talk of agriculture, since biogas generation starts withagricultural waste prod...

In a study on coprophilous fungi, different samples including cow, sheep and horse dung and mouse feces were collected from different locations in West and East Azarbaijan provinces (NW Iran). Isolation of the fungi was done based on moist chamber culture method. Purification of the isolated fungi was done by single spore culture method. Several fungal taxa were obtained. Identification of the ...

Intensified cultivation of rice has accelerated weathering most tropical acid soils leading to significant loss base cations. In developing countries, yield is low and this results in its production being costly because productivity versus labor low. The objectives study were (i) enhance soil chemical properties, nutrient uptake, grain grown on a mineral using agro-wastes; (ii) determine the ag...
