COMPOST PRODUCTION AND COMPOSTED MANURE QUALITY EVALUATION

Acta Horticulturae, 2013
Composted manure can have an important role in production of substrate for growing seedlings, which would make the organic waste management more cost-effective, but also decrease the cost of seedlings production. Production of composted manure is of significant importance for family farms as well and even more so for farms practicing integral and ...

Evaluation of commercial compost quality

Waste Management & Research: The Journal for a Sustainable Circular Economy, 2002
Ten commercial composts were evaluated on the basis of chemical, physical and biological characteristics and compared with a compost produced by a safe matrix in controlled conditions. FT-IR spectra, 13C CP-MAS NMR spectra and molecular weights were also assayed on humic acids extracted from the composts.

Assessing quality and beneficial uses of Sargassum compost

Waste Management, 2023
Sargassum spp. (specifically Sargassum fluitans and S. natans), one of the dominant forms of marine macroalgae (seaweed) found on the beaches of Florida, is washing up on the shores throughout the Caribbean in record quantities. Currently, a common management option is to haul and dispose of beached Sargassum in local landfills, potentially wasting a ...

The efficiency of home composting programmes and compost quality

Waste Management, 2017
The efficiency of home composting programmes and the quality of the produced compost was evaluated in eight rural areas carrying out home composting programmes (up to 880 composting bins) for all household biowaste including meat and fish leftovers. Efficiency was analysed in terms of reduction of organic waste collected by the municipal services.

Composting parameters and compost quality: a literature review

Organic Agriculture, 2017
Economic growth and rising food consumption in the world have led to increased production of organic wastes due to an important intensification of the agricultural production systems. The analysis of macro elements (nitrogen [N], phosphorus [P], and potassium [K]) in organic wastes reveals that the economic loss is significant with the intensification ...

Effect of commercial mineral-based additives on composting and compost quality

Waste Management, 2009
The effectiveness of two commercial additives meant to improve the composting process was studied in a laboratory-scale experiment. Improver A (sulphates and oxides of iron, magnesium, manganese, and zinc mixed with clay) and B (mixture of calcium hydroxide, peroxide, and oxide) were added to source-separated biowaste:peat mixture (1:1, v/v) in ...

Biological Assay for Compost Quality

Compost Science & Utilization, 2004
A plant biological assay or bioassay for determining compost quality and/or maturity has received attention over the past two decades. However, no universal acceptance for compost quality is evident and cress, which was first reported to be used as a plant bioassay, is still the most commonly used.
