Anaerobic digestion (AD) has long been used to treat different types of organic wastes especially in the developed world. However, organic wastes are still more often considered as a waste instead of a resource in the developing world, which contributes to environmental pollution arising from their disposal. This study has been conducted at Bugolobi Sewage Treatment Plant (BSTP), where two orga...

The aim of the research was to establish the influence of kitchen biowaste as a co-substrate on the effectiveness and stability of animal faeces (pig manure) anaerobic digestion for biogas production, conducted in mesophilic conditions. Digestion process was conducted for manure as well as mixtures containing 10% of kitchen biowaste and 90% of manure. The proportion of substrates in the co-dige...

Set-aside farmland can effectively improve the self-rehabilitation of arable soil. Long-term set-asides however cannot satisfy provisionment, therefore the use of short-term set-asides to restore cultivated soil is a better option. Few studies have compared short-term set-aside patterns, and the effects of set-asides on soil microbial community and enzyme enzymes. We analyzed the bacterial stru...

We analyzed during two garlic crop cycles, the effects of chicken manure and vermicompost on soil chemical and biological properties in an agricultural farm irrigated with municipal wastewater of central-western Argentina. Also we evaluate garlic yield and possible health risks as resulting from the organic amendments and the wastewater use. We found that: a) different doses and types of amendm...

cially if manure is surface-applied (Thompson et al., 1987). Conversely, denitrification losses of manure N Repeated N applications to field crops, either as inorganic fertilizers are increased by incorporation or injection (Comfort et or animal manures, can lead to N buildup in soils with potential longterm environmental hazards. The objective of this 3-yr field study al., 1988), and because o...

mass generation of bagasse wastes from every 100 kg of sago starch pith being processed are likely to pollute the water when they are discarded into rivers. the increase of livestock production increases manure production and improper management of these manures will pollute the soil and environment, and causing diseases outbreak. co-composting of sago bagasse and chicken manure could serve as ...

A study was conducted at the Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh during April to September, 2012 to determine the suitability of selected plant growth regulators and the proper use and effectiveness of selected organic manures and also their suitable combinations for successful okra production. The experiment consisted of two factors: factor A: growth regulators...

Organic manure is considered as a beneficial fertilizer on soil quality and an excellent alternative resource of chemical fertilizer (CF). However, organic manure from intensive farms may have a negative impact on soil quality because of containing some harmful components, such as heavy metal and antibiotics. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of poultry litter (PL) and livest...
