Composting cotton industry by-products. Evaluation of Use of cotton solid wastes compost as a substrate.
The textile industry at region of Entre Douro e Minho is located at Ave valley and is responsible for a great amount of cotton solid wastes. Currently these wastes, which are characterised by a high C/N ratio and some salinity, are directly applied to soil by farmers without any previous treatment (Zucconi et al, 1981). Extraction of peat causes environmental damage (Smith, 1992) which leads to ...

Potential of Eisenia fetida for vermicomposting of garden trimmings spiked with cow dung
The garden residues and trimmings were vermicomposted in order to mitigate environmental problems caused by them. The results of experiments indicated that the addition of Garden Trimmings (GT) up to 30% with cow dung (CD) produced good quality vermicompost in terms of increased NPK status as well as decrease in C : N and C : P ratio. A comparison of the decomposition of GT + CD in ...
