an experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications and 14 fertilizer treatments in year 2014. the treatments were including the control, application of chemical fertilizers according the soil analysis, application of 15, 30 and 45 tons of municipal  waste compost per ha as simple and with 25, 50 and 75% of chemical fertilizers. the results revealed that the ...

Agricultural operations generate large quantities of manure which must be eliminated in a manner that is consistent with public health guidelines. Meanwhile, construction and demolition waste makes up about 25% of total solid municipal waste. Co-composting of manure with construction and demolition waste offers a potential means to make manure safe for soil amendment and also divert constructio...

A two-year field experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of nitrogen, composted manure, municipal waste compost, and weeds on yield and photosynthetic characteristics of corn. Experimental design was split split plot factorial with 3 replications. Main plots were weedy and weed-free, sub plots were nitrogen fertilizer levels [0 (N0) and 200 (N200) kg N ha -1 as urea], and sub sub ...

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...

municipal solid waste compost (mswc) has been reported to improve soil fertility, plant development, yield and quality. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (pah) is produced during the composting process which may cause cancer if introduced in human diet. an experiment was conducted at the experimental field of the agronomy faculty, university of guilan, rasht, iran, in 2008, to determine the effec...

Rapid urbanization and industrialization, population growth and economic growth in developing countries make management of municipal solid waste more complex comparing with developed countries. Furthermore, the conventional municipal solid waste management approach often is reductionists, not tailored to handle complexity. Therefore, the need to a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary approach r...

in order to studying the effect of conventional fertilization and organic fertilizeron growth, yield and nitrate accumulation of spinach, a greenhouse experiment was carried out in factorial based on random complete design with three replications in a commercial greenhouse located at lahijan. treatments were three levels of municipal soil waste compost (0, 50 and 100 t ha-1), five chemical fert...
