During the survey, samples were taken from the raw wastes intended for the composting, and also at the level of the produced compost.
In assessing the maturity level of the compost, the CN ratio was determined.
The CO2 and OUR values were used to determine the Solvita maturity index on a scale of 1 8, which represents the maturity level of the compost samples.
Adjust the moisture level of the compost pile.
The level of compost colonization (COCO) per genotype was recorded on a scale of 1 10 on day 14 after spawning (Table 1), where a score 1 indicates very poorly colonized compost (or 10%% surface colonization), and score 10 indicates very good colonization (or 100%% surface colonization).
The yield reduction was observed with increase in the levels of pressmud compost.
The apparent N recovery was decreased with increasing the levels of enriched pressmud compost due to its nature of decomposition based on the quantities of its presence, which in turn would have immobilized the released native soil N (Kumar et al. 2007; Khan et al. 2014).
Adjust the level of carbon-rich material in your compost pile.
Compost maturity is the level of decomposition of phytotoxic organic substances being produced during the co-composting stage (Wu and Ma 2001).
Compost maturity is the level of decomposition that can be defined by the microbial biomass and decomposition of phytotoxic compounds in compost (Wu et al. 2000; Wu and Ma 2001).
