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: Integrating vermicompost and hydroponics in rice agriculture presents an innovative and sustainable solution for transforming organic waste into valuable resources. This review explores the possible utilization of organic waste into productive resources through vermicompost and hydroponics in rice agriculture. Method: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to investigate the potential use of vermicompost derived […]
Recent trend of declining sustainability in agricultural production is appearing as a major threat to most of the Asian countries. To combat the situation, increasing importance is now being paid on incorporation of organic materials for rejuvenating the health condition and, hence, the productivity of these soils. Large scale availability of conventional organic manures being […]
Purpose Catha edulis, commonly called as khat or chat is an evergreen plant cultivated in Ethiopia for its stimulant leaves. The young leaves are chewed as a part of social recreation and the older leaves along with the twigs are discarded. This forms the major part of municipal solid waste that is dumped in large […]
Purpose The solubility of silica is a key parameter affecting its suitability as a rice fertilizer. Therefore, this study determined the effect of calcination temperature and duration on the physical composition of silica derived from rice husk ash. Method Rice husks were calcined at 100–900 °C for 15–120 min in an electric furnace. The solubility […]
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the effects of compost and vermicompost of municipal solid waste application on the growth of Dracaena marginata tricolor. Then, the results of foliar application of compost tea and vermicompost tea on the plants were examined. Method Experimental treatments included compost and vermicompost of municipal solid waste in proportions of […]
Purpose: The use of sewage sludge associated with natural rock-based fertilizers can increase nutrient solubility and soil fertility. From this perspective, this study evaluated changes in the chemical soil attributes and the nutrient availability rate after the application of sewage sludge, natural phosphate, and elemental sulfur in soils with different clay contents. Method: The study […]
