Assessing microbial population dynamics, enzyme activities and phosphorus availability indices during phospho‑compost production

Purpose This study assessed changes in bio-quality indices and plant available P released during aerobic–thermophilic cocomposting of different mix ratios of non-reactive ground phosphate rock (GPR) with poultry and cattle manures. Methods Aerobic–thermophilic co-composting of different mix ratios (5:5, 8:2, 7:3 and 9:1) of non-reactive GPR with poultry and cattle manures was carried out. Compost […]

Agro-environmental assessment of recycling abattoir blood meal powder as an organic fertilizer using soil quality index and hazard quotient

Purpose This study assessed the fertilizing potential and environmental impacts of recycling the blood meal powder (BMP) produced in the abattoir as an organic fertilizer in agriculture. Method In this study, a 70-day laboratory incubation experiment was conducted using a clayey calcareous soil to study the effects of adding abattoir BMP at three rates (1.5, […]
