Composting parameters and compost quality: a literature review
TL;DR: A literature review of the main start-up, monitoring and maturity parameters are discussed in this article concerning different raw materials used and different composting methods practiced, and the wide variety of chemical and biological variations that occur during composting has made it difficult to agree on methods for the practical assessment of maturity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic and inorganic remediation of soils affected by salinity in the Sebkha of Sed El Mesjoune – Marrakech (Morocco)
TL;DR: In this article, the change of certain soil parameters with time after applying organic (green waste and sugarcane composts) and inorganic (gypsum at two rates) amendments on three soils with different salinity levels using ryegrass as the test crop during a 180-day incubation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agro-environmental assessment of composting plants in Southwestern of Morocco (Souss-Massa Region)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the existing composting plants at regional scale, to improve their efficiency, produce a high-quality soil amendment, free from any pathogens, and weed seeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elucidation of functional chemical groups responsible of compost phytotoxicity using solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy under different initial C/N ratios
Khalid Azim,Youssef Faissal,Brahim Soudi,Claude Périssol,Sevastianos Roussos,Imane Thami Alami +5 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the compost with the initial C/N ratio of 35 is the most humified with the least phytotoxic effect.
Dynamic composting optimization through C/N ratio variation as a startup parameter
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of C/N ratio on physicochemical parameters during aerobic composting process (temperature, relative humidity, pH, EC...), and the quality of the compost was also tested by its incorporation at different rates into sandy soil.
