Nitrogen fixing and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (NFB and PSB)Azotobacter chroococcum and Pseudomonas fluorescens were integrated with this composting process at varying doses viz. 0,5 and 10 g kg-1 substrate under different combinations. Changes in the population of these two bio-fertilizing microorganisms and the availability of relevant nutrients in the substrates were monitored periodically to assess the behaviors of these microorganisms and their effects on the produced vermicompost. \u0000Results All the inoculations resulted in substantial increments in population of both NFB and PSB over the control. However, the increments were more prominent for NFB than the PSB. Significant increments in the amount of mineralized nitrogen and solubilized phosphate over the control were observed in almost all the treatment combinations. \u0000Conclusion Integration of nitrogen fixing and phosphate solubilizing bacteria with vermicomposting process resulted in substantial enrichment of the product. This benefit was observed not only in terms of increased availability of the two major plant nutrients of concern viz. N and P, but also in significant improvement in the population of the inoculated microorganisms turning the product into a potential source of bio-fertilizers.","PeriodicalId":14373,"journal":{"name":"International Journal Of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89310112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of modifiers, including organic matters, can be considered as an appropriate strategy to improve the fertility of saline-sodic soils. \u0000Method In this study, saline-sodic control soil was collected from Karaj and mixed with three levels of 1%, 3% and 5% of cow manure, vermicompost and Azolla. The soil columns were then incubated at 20 °C and field capacity moisture for 5 months. The physical and chemical properties of the treatments were evaluated before and after incubation. \u0000Results After the incubation period, the lowest salinity level was observed in 5% Azolla and vermicompost treatments. The highest amount of change in sodium absorption ratio was related to 5% cow manure treatment. There was an insignificant difference in moisture levels in a given suction among the different treatments. After the incubation period, salinity and sodium absorption decreased and increased in most of the treatments, respectively. Moreover, the decrease of saturation dehydration coefficient in the treatments revealed the disruption of soil structure and conversion of large pores to fine grains as a result of adding the mentioned organic matters. \u0000Conclusion According to the results, cow manure at 1% level had no significant effect on soil properties. However, at higher levels, it had a negative effect on quality and conditions of the saline-sodic soil in terms of physical and chemical properties. In contrast, Azolla and vermicompost fertilizers at 5% proved to be suitable for correcting the saline-sodic soil.","PeriodicalId":14373,"journal":{"name":"International Journal Of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76667371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To produce Potato under Arsenic contaminated soil, an experiment was conducted to find out the effect of sawdust as an adsorbent to decontaminate Arsenic toxicity in soil. Method The research was conducted in pot experiment. It consisted of two factors. Factor A: Arsenic levels (4) viz., As0: control (0 mg/kgsoil), As1: 25 mg/kg soil, As2: 50 mg/kg soil, and As3: 75 mg/kg soil. Factor B: Sawdust levels (4) viz., S0: control (0 g/kg soil), S1: 10 g/kg soil, S2: 50 g/kg soil, and S3: 100 g/kg soil. Results Arsenic content in Potato tuber peel and flesh gradually increased with the increase of Arsenic levels. As3 was found for the highest accumulation of Arsenic in tuber peel (3.867 mg/kgfresh weight) and flesh (0.6236 mg/kgfresh weight). Arsenic content in both peel and flesh of Potato tuber decreased with increasing sawdust levels. The soil treated with S3 reduced 86.41% and 51.44% Arsenic accumulation from tuber peel and flesh, respectively, compared to control (S0). Potato produced from the treatment As1S1 accumulated a lower amount of Arsenic (0.15 mg/kgfresh weight) in Potato flesh compared to those of other treatments. Conclusion Therefore, Potato growers can produce Potato in 25 mg/kg Arsenic contaminated soil treated with 10 g sawdust/kg soil, which contains a minimum than the critical level of Arsenic for human consumption.","PeriodicalId":14373,"journal":{"name":"International Journal Of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83105669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method Experiment was implemented in 2013, in southern Brazil. The treatments were control, mineral fertilization (MF), swine manure compost + MF (SMC+MF); pig slurry + MF (PS+MF); PS to supply N for maize and black oat (PS100). In May 2015 and 2016, undisturbed soil samples were collected to obtain soil aggregates. Aggregates stability was evaluated through the mean weight diameter (MWD) and mean geometric diameter (MGD) indexes and aggregate distribution by diameter classes. In macroaggregates, total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), clay flocculation degree (CF%) and ∆pH were evaluated. Results The use of swine manure, associated or not to MF, increases TOC and TN contents in soil aggregates in 67.02 and 125.87%, respectively, for SMC+MF treatment. However, it was not efficient in improving soil physical attributes, reducing soil aggregation indexes, mainly in the 5-10 cm layer, by the decreased values of MWD and MGD. This result corroborates with the increase in microaggregates in all treatments. This was a result of the negative ∆pH values and the increased CF%. Conclusion Despite the increase in organic matter contents observed in this study, this was not enough to guarantee an improvement in soil physical attributes over 4 years. These results show that management must be supported by several conservationist techniques in order to have soil quality.","PeriodicalId":14373,"journal":{"name":"International Journal Of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91211278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, the growth of vegetation in the final disposal areas provides many benefits such as improving the visual impact, controlling of hydric erosion, etc. The purpose of this work was to evaluate landfill leachate as irrigation water and source of nutrients for growth of Tagetes erecta L., an ornamental plant with phytoremediation capacities. Method Vegetal growth, physiological responses and mineral elements uptake of the ornamental plant Tagetes erecta L. were studied with different levels of landfill leachate irrigation. The landfill leachate was provided by the municipal waste treatment. Experimental period covered 34 days of daily watering between the beginning and end of the flowering stage. Three different irrigation treatments were used: T1: 10% leachate; T2: 25% leachate; T3: 50% leachate. Hoagland's solution served as the control treatment. Results The irrigation treatment with a dose of 50% leachate causes a clear deterioration in the plant and its flowers. In lower doses, the plant responds favorably to both the production of flowers and the main features of them. Also, the water-use efficiency (WUE) is diminished in those plants irrigated with the major dose of leachate. Conclusion Maintaining controlled doses, landfill leachates can be used as an alternative source of water and nutrients. Irrigation with leachates of these characteristics should be done in dosages not higher than 25% to avoid possible damage of Tagetes erecta L. growth.","PeriodicalId":14373,"journal":{"name":"International Journal Of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90634222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method A laboratory experiment was set up to study how the detoxification of soybean oil mill effluent (SOME) under different anaerobic digestion time (0, 20 and 40 days) and application rates (0, 50 and 100 m3/ha) will influence the suitability of the effluent for fertigation. Results SOME has a pH of 8.3, which decreased steadily to 7.4 as digestion time increased to 40 days. EC and potassium levels also decreased as digestion time increased, from 0.37 dS/m and 120.6 g/l to 0.28 dS/m and 70.1 g/l, respectively. However, levels of organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus did not change significantly. The effluent impacted negatively on germination after a one-time application, with the germination index going as low as 22% for untreated SOME and gradually increasing to 66% as digestion time increased. Continuous application of the untreated effluent also affected soil microbial activity negatively when compared to the treated effluent. Conclusion Anaerobic digestion detoxifies SOME and the efficiency of the treatment increased with increasing digestion time. The effluent also contains low to moderate amounts of NPK and therefore has a potential for fertigation.","PeriodicalId":14373,"journal":{"name":"International Journal Of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83949536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study aims to evaluate the potential influence of the combination of CFPH with vermicompost (VC) on growth-promotion and yield improvement in tomato plants. Method Feather degrading bacteria were isolated and characterized using 16s-rDNA sequencing, and assessed for biochemical reactions, growth-promoting attributes and keratinase activity. The medium used for feather degradation studies consisted of 0.75% (w/v) of raw feather, with 1% (v/v) of inoculum at 37°C, pH 7.5 and at 120 rpm.

However, the long composting period averaging three months has had adverse effect on adoption. The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFL) feed voraciously and breaks down organic wastes fast. Addition of rice husk biochar (RHB) neutralises acidity and aerates the compost. Combined application of BSFL and RHB to feedstocks could therefore reduce composting period and improve compost quality. Method Two studies were conducted with market crop waste (MCW) as feedstock. Firstly, feedstocks at two particle sizes (x 10 mm), with and without BSFL were evaluated to determine degradability, chemical content of the degraded residue and to select appropriate feedstock size ideal for composting. Secondly, the selected feedstocks size of between 5 mm and 10 mm were inoculated with or without BSFL and RHB of 0%, 5% 10% and 15% added. Composting trials were conducted in barrels inclined at 30o to facilitate drainage. Physicochemical and biological parameters of feedstock were monitored until maturity. Results Degradability of MCW by BSFL was feedstock specific rather than feedstock size. Inoculation of BSFL and biochar addition reduced composting period from 76 to 45 days. Biochar addition at 15% increased P availability to 1882 mg kg-1 but reduced total N to 10.5 g kg-1. E coli levels decreased in the BSFL-biochar composts to acceptable limits.
