ROLE OF COMPOST IN BIO WASTE MANAGEMENT IN CROPS

SHIVSANT KUMAR, MANOJ KUMAR, V K PRABHAT

Abstract

The present paper deals with role of compost in bio waste management in crops. The increase of separate collections of bio-waste, largely represented by food waste, and their biological treatment is an essential feature of the waste management strategy. An annual time-step model for estimating soil organic matter (SOM) stock dynamics in a two year time frame was developed and tested on cardoon cropping system. The model took into account few soil parameters, mean annual temperature, and the cultural systems management, in particular organic fertilizers and crop residues. This work indicates that compost use in crops agriculture management would be beneficial for SOM increase. The results showed how high-quality compost could represent the management in crops.
