| Abstract/Contents: | "Composting can be defined as the 'biological decomposition of organic constituents in wastes under controlled conditions.' Since composting relies exclusively on microorganisms to decompose the organic matter, the process has biological as well as physical limitations. During composting, the environmental parameters (i.e. moisture, temperature, aeration) must be stringently controlled. This is necessary to maintain adequate rates of decomposition and to avoid the production of decomposition by-products that may be harmful to plant growth." Discusses proper procedures to ensure successful processing of compost and maintaining disease control. |
