POTENTIALS OF GRAPE POMACE FOR COMPOST PRODUCTION ON THE TERRITORY OF THE THREE MORAVA REGION: A CASE STUDY

Stems, skins, seeds, and pulp are grape pomace (GP) components formed as by-products during wine production. The GP share represents about 25% of the total amount processed grapes, which is a significant organic waste (OW) that can be treated in composting process. purpose paper to consider possibility their use by presenting basic characteristics potentials other available fractions OW agricultural origin. First, based on representation vineyards regions territory Republic Serbia locally substrates, using previously developed mathematical model, quantities observed composts were calculated. After applying model cities belonging Three Morava Region, it was discovered optimal mixture contains 40% when co-substrates wheat straw (WS) swine manure (SM). Next, mean values percentage GP, applied Serbia. results showed sufficient all substrates criteria satisfied.
