Sustainable peat alternatives, such as composts and management residues, are considered to have beneficial microbiological characteristics compared to peat-based substrates. Studies comparing microbiological characteristics of these three types of biomass are, however, lacking. This study examined if and how microbiological characteristics of subty...

Zwitterionic, cationic, and anionic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are increasingly reported in terrestrial and aquatic environments, but their inputs to agricultural lands are not fully understood. Here, we characterized PFAS in 47 organic waste products (OWP) applied in agricultural fields of France, including historical and recent ma...

This chapter presents technologies for replacing the nutrients lost from cropped fields with external fertilizer sources in a manner that minimizes the consequences of too little or too much application. The technology of using industrial fertilizers, organic fertilizers, and application of farmyard manure and compost alone or in combination with i...

Soil amendments from peats, brown coals and composts produced from segregated biodegradable waste or biomass from fallow land can increase soil fertility and improve soil productivity. The aim of the study was to determine the possibility of using willow (Salix viminalis L.) biomass composts as a substrate component in horticulture. The objects of ...

Fecal sludge (FS)-derived fertilizer material, Fortifer™ was used in farmers’ field to cultivate different crops under varying soil and agro-climatic conditions in Ghana. The aim was to (1) create awareness among smallholder farmers for widespread use of Fortifer™ (2) observe the response of crops to Fortifer™ application by farmers in different ag...

AbstractRational use of methods and means of biological reclamation on drained lands creates conditions to obtain the planned harvest of good quality, to prevent soil degradation, and to provide possible detoxication of the soil cover, water sources, and agricultural products. This work shows the role of biological reclamation on drained lands base...

Organic amendments are added to modify a soil in the zone where roots will grow— unlike mulches, which are applied to the undisturbed soil surface. These materials may be incorporated into landscape soils to improve plant growth. However, research has not shown that adding amendments to planting holes for perennial plants provides a significant adv...

Compost en andere organische meststoffen bevatten fosfaat waardoor de aanvoer hiervan moet voldoen aan de fosfaatgebruiksnormen voor landbouwgrond. Voor compost geldt dat fosfaat voor 50% (tot 3,5 kg P2O5/kg droge stof) is vrijgesteld van deze fosfaatgebruiksnorm, omdat compost voor een aanzienlijk deel bestaat uit grond dat met tuinafval wordt mee...
