A simple, rapid and eco-friendly method has long been needed for evaluating the compost stability because application of unstable compost in agricultural field causes phytotoxicity. Thus, the CIELAB variables L*, a*, b*, a* x b*, a* / b*, 2000a* / (L* x b*), 1000a* / (L* + b*), chroma (C*ab), hue (hab) and color difference (∆E00) in dried (70oC) and ground composting materials (particle size ≤ ...

In order to investigate the effect of growth media and nutrition method on the growth of Bellis perennis L. and nutrients uptake, a factorial experiment was conducted with two factors: growth media (municipal waste compost, Azolla compost, tea wastes compost) and nutrition method (without fertilizer, soil application, foliar spray) in comparison to the control medium (60% soil + 20% manure + 10...

Urban soil quality is often degraded and a challenging substrate for trees. This study was conducted to assess the impacts of biochar (BC), biosolids (BS), wood chips (WC), compost (COM), aerated compost tea (ACT), and a nitrogen plus potassium fertilizer (NK) for improving three typical urban soils and tree sapling growth. Across the three soil types, the most significant changes in soil prope...
