Estimation of norovirus and
Ascaris infection risks to urban farmers in developing countries using wastewater for crop irrigationA quantitative microbial risk analysis—Monte Carlo method was used to estimate norovirus and Ascaris infection risks to urban farmers in developing countries watering their crops with wastewater. For a tolerable additional disease burden of≤10−4 DALY loss per person per year (pppy), equivalent to 1 percent of the diarrhoeal disease burden in developing countries, a norovirus reduction of 1–2 log ...

Effect of feeding efficient microbial community on aerobic composting of municipal waste and excrement
Each of the total 13 strains of bacteria was isolated based on the characteristics of municipal waste and excrement, which include 6 strains of bacterium, 4 strains of streptomyces and 3 strains of actinomycetes; all of these were appropriate for aerobic composting. The Efficient Microbial Community (EMC) was constructed by these strains combination at certain ratios. A series of experiments were ...

Composting of vegetable waste in subtropical climates
This experiment examined the possibility of using composting as a method of waste disposal in subtropical countries, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where temperatures are high and humidity is low. In order to simulate conditions in the UAE, a representative mixture of wastes generated in the UAE was prepared and tested at ambient temperatures resembling those of subtropical countries. ...

Application of microbial bacterial fertilizer in agricultural organic fertilizer production line
Bio-fertilizer is a kind of product that leads to the specific fertilizer effect of crops caused by the life activities of microorganisms, and it is a kind of finished fertilizer in the organic fertilizer production line. It has a huge effect on crop growth and soil nutrition. Here we introduce the application of microbial bacterial fertilizer in the organic fertilizer production line. 1. The ...

Soil Microbial Community Response to Land Use Change in an Agricultural Landscape of Western Kenya
Tropical agroecosystems are subject to degradation processes such as losses in soil carbon, nutrient depletion, and reduced water holding capacity that occur rapidly resulting in a reduction in soil fertility that can be difficult to reverse. In this research, a polyphasic methodology has been used to investigate changes in microbial community structure and function in a series of tropical soils ...

Effects of biowaste compost amendment on soil microbial biomass and specific carbon turnover in agricultural soils
The importance of biowaste compost as organic fertilisers has become more emergent in the last years due to the increased production of compost produced from biowaste. The utilisation of organic fertilisers in agriculture improves the physical, chemical and microbial properties of soils (Allievi et al., 1993; Senesi, 1989). Amendment of compost affects several soil properties positively like e.g. ...
