Experiments were conducted to remove heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn) from urban sewage sludge (SS) amended with spent mushroom compost (SMC) using worms, Lumbricus rubellus, for 105 days, after 21 days of pre-composting. Five combinations of SS/SMC treatments were prepared in triplicate along with a control for each treatment in microcosms. Analysis of the earthworms' multiplication and gr...

Organic waste materials are being used in huge amounts (tons ha) for improving soil health and crop yields. Recycling of organic wastes enriched with nitrogen and L-tryptophan (L-TRP) could convert organic waste material into a useful soil amendment, which may be effective even when added in substantially small amounts (kg ha). Organic waste material of fruits and vegetables was collected and s...

Phosphorus (P) unavailability and lack of organic matter in the soils under semiarid climates are the two major constraints for low crop productivity. Field trial was conducted to study the effects of P levels, compost application times and seed inoculation with phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) on the yield and yield components of maize (Zea mays L., cv. Azam). The experiment was conducted...
