Purpose: This study was carried out with the aim of improving the use of compost products as compost tea and humic substances fertilizers, to study the evolution and the degree of compost maturity, and to use the chlorophyll as an indicator of compost quality. Method: The compost tea and humic substances were prepared from different […]
Purpose: This study analyzed the ability of Black Soldier Flies Larvae (BSFL) in reducing grease waste and the effect of variation in feed composition on the growth rate effect of larvae age at 8 days, 12 days, and 16 days. Method: Before reaching the specified age (8, 12, or 16 days), the larvae are fed […]
Purpose: Fermented cow urine (cow bio urine) is used as an organic source of nutrients. This study aimed to determine the effect of various concentrations of cow bio urine as the organic nutrient source on the growth and yield of vegetable crops in hydroponic systems. Method: Research was conducted in a greenhouse at the University […]
Purpose This study investigated the effect of recycled Olive Pruning Residues (OLPR) and Spent Coffee Grounds (SCG) on substrate temperature (temp) and duration (dur) of Pleurotus ostreatus growing stages. This study also sheds light on the correlation between selected parameters, yield, and substrate composition. Method The experiment consisted of 2 sole substrates wheat straw (WS; […]
Purpose Composting is known since long for reducing the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers. These fertilizers are applied to the crops for the supply of required macro/micronutrients. The present study describes how to decompose biodegradable solid wastes quickly into compost without harming the environment. Method The microbial inoculums were developed from cow dung concentrate. The […]
Purpose Reusing agricultural waste as a substrate material for mushroom cultivation was considered a great alternative to bio-waste disposal. In this study, bamboo waste from a local skewer factory in Lampang Province, Thailand, was used as a substrate, along with the original material for the mycelial growth of Dictyophora indusiata mushroom. Method D. indusiata mycelia […]
Purpose No research has been published on the effect of chemical processing on the degradability and nutritional value of cumin residue. Chemical processing, such as urea, sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen peroxide, has been widely investigated to increase the nutritional value of grain residues, but information on cumin residue is limited. The effects of untreated and […]
Purpose Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major crop grown and consumed in Nigeria but poor soil quality has resulted in low yield. This study assessed the quality of compost produced from agricultural wastes and its impact on the yield of Zea mays L. Method The composting process was carried out on a windrow (2 […]
Purpose Rice straw degradation in the soil is slow because of the high percentage of complex carbohydrates. Hence, farmers prefer to burn it in the agricultural field as a quicker alternative to the open burning of rice straw. Therefore, this study aims to characterize the bacteria from cow dung that can degrade rice straw. Method […]
Purpose: Waste and waste disposal is a universal problem and attention is required in all ways. The plant generated waste (leaf litter) is also a type of organic waste that creates multiple issues in urban areas. Method: Vermicomposting is a suitable alternative safe, hygienic, and cost-effective disposal of organic solid waste with the help of […]
