The experiment to investigate the effects of mineral and organic base fertilizer on soil organic matter, nutrient content, aggregate stability and the fungi isolates was conducted in Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Nigeria. Experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block Design with five treatments replicated thrice. The treatments were; control, Urea, NPK 15 15 15, Compost and Compost – mineral fertilizer. Compost and compost – mineral fertilizer rates was 10 and 4 tonnes / hectares (t ha-1) respectively. Maize was used as test crop. The soil at the experimental site was low in nutrients however, the application of compost and compost – mineral fertilizer significantly (p < 0.05) improved the organic matter content, soil nutrient status and aggregate stability compared to mineral fertilizer. The fungi isolates was higher in compost and compost – mineral fertilizer. The application of compost and compost – mineral fertilizer increased the soil pH to near neutral and reduces acidity. The application of compost – mineral fertilizer had multiple benefits in improving organic matter content, the chemical and physical and biological properties of the soil. In conclusion, compost – mineral fertilizer had significant improvement on the soil nutrients and aggregate stability compared to other treatments, therefore compost – mineral fertilizer can be effective in the sustainability of the soil fertility.","PeriodicalId":314179,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wastes and Biomass Management","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128064584","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}

An experiment was conducted at the Germplasm Centre of Agrotechnology Discipline of Khulna University of Bangladesh during January to March 2014 to evaluate the nutrient content of composts made from water hyacinth (WH), kitchen waste (KW), cow dung (CD), farmyard manure (FYM), and poultry litter (PL). The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 15 treatments viz. WH, KW, CD, FYM, PL, WH:KW (1:1), WH:CD (1:1), WH:FYM (1:1), WH:PL (1:1), KW:CD (1:1), KW:FYM (1:1), KW:PL (1:1), CD:FYM (1:1), CD:PL (1:1), and FYM:PL (1:1) and three replications. The prepared composts were dark brown to black with earthy smell and large-textured. Cow dung in combination with farmyard manure or poultry litter resulted highest content of total N, S, Zn, and B and farmyard manure and poultry litter had highest content of total P. Again, poultry litter with water hyacinth estimated highest total K. Combination of water hyacinth with farmyard manure had the highest Ca and Mg content. Therefore, combination of composting materials (CD, PL, FYM, WH) resulted better nutrient content of composts rather than using alone. The results suggest use of water hyacinth, an invasive aquatic weed, as a composting material that can improve our soil health.","PeriodicalId":314179,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wastes and Biomass Management","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125536436","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}

Its semi desert environment cannot supply the demanded quantity that combustible. This situation is a challenge for research in order to find out other sources of cooking energy accessible to the population. The purpose of this study is to valorise by the production of pellets, a cooking energy source, the sawdust assimilated to waste and regularly burned. The main objective of this work is to provide an alternative source of firewood. More specifically, it involves manufacturing pellets, innovating an improved pellet-type stove and carrying out cooking tests. Thus, three types of pellets containing 30%, 50% and 70% of sawdust are produced using clay as the binder. After the drying of pellets, the moisture content is assessed and various cooking tests have been done. A new type of stove adequate for the use of pellets and charcoal has been constructed. From the results obtained, it has been observed that the maximum moisture content of the pellets is 10.8± 1.1%. During the combustion, pellets containing 50% of sawdust provide more efficiency. Therefore, with about 1.5 kg of this type of pellets, it is possible to prepare a complete millet meal and coffee sufficient to feed 4 to 5 people a day. This is approximately 0.32 to 0.4 kg / person/day or 0.16 to 0.2 kg of sawdust / individual/day. These results clearly indicate that sawdust can be used to produce pellets which are a reliable source of cooking energy. Instead still be burn as waste, their valorisation can contribute to reduce the pressure of the population on the fragile ecology of far north looking for firewood.","PeriodicalId":314179,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wastes and Biomass Management","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126286656","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 goals were to increase groundnut yield, to boost soil fertility and to improve the stock of organic carbon in soil. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications was employed to set up the experiment and the test crop was BARI Chinabadam-9.There were seven different treatments: T1 was100 % RDCF (control), T2 was 100 % RDCF + vermicompost @ 1 t ha-1, T3 was 100 % RDCF + vermicompost @ 3 t ha-1, T4 was 85% RDCF + vermicompost @ 1 t ha-1, T5 was 85% RDCF + vermicompost @ 3 t ha-1, T6 was 70% RDCF + vermicompost @ 1 t ha-1 and T7 was 70% RDCF + vermicompost @ 3 t ha-1. According to two years’ worth of average data, the combined use of vermicompost and chemical fertilizer boosted groundnut output and BCR compared to the solitary application of chemical fertilizers. T5 treatment (85% RDCF + VC @ 3 t ha-1) provided the highest average groundnut yield (2.16 t ha-1) out of all the treatments, which was 19.33% greater than 100% RDCF dose. On the other side, groundnut yield gradually dropped as chemical fertilizers were reduced. The T6 treatment (70% RD + vermicompost @ 1 t ha-1) had the lowest average ground nut yield which was 1.55 t ha-1. Integrated treatment outperformed sole chemical treatment in terms of soil organic matter and N, P, and K contents of post-harvest soils. The amount of organic carbon in the soil as well as its stock and buildup increased as a result of integrated treatment. Given the overall results, farmers can be encouraged to grow groundnuts in charland using 85% chemical fertilizer with vermicompost @ 3 t ha−1 application. With this combination, farmers would be able to boost groundnut productivity, improving their income and way of life.","PeriodicalId":314179,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wastes and Biomass Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129132182","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}

Brick kilns emit huge carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), black carbon, particulate matter (PM) while crop residue firing resulting in heat penetration of 1 cm into the soil and temperature elevations of up to 33.8-42.2 °C which kills the bacterial and fungal populations critical for fertile soil. These substances & harmful gases contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming. The aim of this study was to understand environmental, social and economic impacts of ‘briquetting plant & briquettes’. The results show that crop residue conversion into briquettes and use of these briquettes into brick kilns helped to reduce the carbon footprint and other harmful greenhouse gases by reducing CO2 emissions by 8.22 million kg, CO emissions by 0.34 million kg, NOx emissions by 0.028 million kg, SO2 emissions by 0.007 million kg, and particulate matter emissions by 0.065 million kg.

Five treatments (No-till, Digging, Hoeing, Hoeing+Digging once, and Hoeing+Digging twice) were considered. Plant Available Water Content (PAWC) and the Soil Water Holding Capacity (SWHC) were used to determine the soil water retention capacity. The results revealed that the crude tillage methods had a significant (P<0.05) impact on some soil properties. The highest bulk density (1.18g/cm3) was found in the No-till zone, while the lowest (0.89g/cm3) was in the Hoe+Digging twice method. The tillage methods also affected the hydraulic conductivity as the highest value (4.67cm/hr) was found in the hoe+digging zone and the lowest (2.61cm/hr) in the no-till area. Furthermore, the PAWC and SWHC were highest (0.14cm3cm-3 and 2.03cm) at the No-till zone and lowest (0.06 cm3cm-3 and 0.95cm) at the Hoe+Digging twice zone. It is therefore recommended that, for unrestricted flow of water through the soils, compacted soils should be pulverized using tillage implements. Also, for optimal plant water availability, there should be less tillage on coarse-textured soils, as the disturbance promotes rapid leaching.","PeriodicalId":314179,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wastes and Biomass Management","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131264942","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 objectives were to determine whether composted kitchen waste would increase soil organic carbon levels and tomato yield. The BARI tomato-21 was utilized as the test crop, and the experiment was set up using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. There were seven treatments comprising T1 = 100 % RDCF (control), T2=100 % RDCF + Kitchen Waste Compost @ 2.5 t ha-1, T3 = 100 % RDCF + Kitchen Waste Compost @ 5 t ha-1, T4 = 85% RDCF + Kitchen Waste Compost @ 2.5 t ha-1, T5 = 85% RDCF + Kitchen Waste Compost @ 5 t ha-1, T6 =70% RDCF + Kitchen Waste Compost @ 2.5 t ha-1 and T7 = 70% RDCF + Kitchen Waste Compost @ 5 t ha-1. Data revealed that, combined application of kitchen waste compost and chemical fertilizer increased tomato production as compared to sole application of chemical fertilizers. The highest average tomato fruit yield (68.46 t ha-1) was found in T3 treatment (100 % RDCF + Kitchen Waste Compost @ 5 t ha-1). T1 treatment (100 % RDCF) yielded 55.82 t ha-1 of tomatoes, indicating that plants could not receive enough nutrients from a single application of chemical fertilizer. On the other hand, as chemical fertilizers were reduced, tomato yield gradually declined. The T6 treatment (70 % RD + kitchen waste compost @ 2.5 t ha-1) had the lowest average tomato output, 52.73 t ha-1. The T3 treatment (100 % RDCF + kitchen waste compost @ 5 t ha-1) performed better after the second cycle was finished in terms of total nutrient content in post-harvest soil. In comparison to previous treatments, this treatment also increased soil carbon accumulation. As a result, it is practicable to apply the full dose of chemical fertilizer with 5 t ha-1 kitchen waste compost, which will boost tomato yields, bring about economic benefits and prevent soil and environmental contamination.","PeriodicalId":314179,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wastes and Biomass Management","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127049882","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}
