Sep 7, 2019 · To reduce or minimize these ill effects, it is high time to shift the agriculture system from inorganic to organic mode to sustain the soil and environments for a longer period. Side by side, the use of chemical fertilizers should be minimized or avoided depending upon the cropping condition and demand of the system.
Jan 20, 2023 · This high amount of waste plastics consequently affects the eco-system through soil pollution by land filling, marine pollution by ocean dumping, air pollution by open dumping as they are not a part of our food chain (Mourshed et al. 2017; Paletta et al. 2019). Lack of infrastructure, improper and unplanned dumping, inadequate legislation and
Nov 4, 2024 · Effective disposal of green waste has been a challenging task faced by urban bodies for a long time. Composting can be an effective method to manage green waste by recovering nutrients that can be used as organic manure. However, there are some limitations to green waste composting, such as a low degradation rate and the requirement for high manpower and space. Many researchers have studied
Mar 21, 2023 · Synthetic fertilizers have been revolutionary in the way that the increased production of food crops has increased as a result of the application of synthetic fertilizers. Despite the fact that global N, P, and K consumption have increased from 64.9, 25.9, and 18.2 kg/ha in the year 2000 to 85.5, 33.2, and 20.4 kg/ha, respectively, they are still relatively low. Additionally, excessive use of
Jun 28, 2023 · By composting these materials instead, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint and minimize environmental pollution. Composting also helps conserve valuable resources. By recycling organic matter back into the soil, we can enhance soil fertility, reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, and promote healthier plant growth.
Oct 31, 2023 · In-building or tunnel composting systems, coupled with biofilters, offer a unique solution for reducing the environmental footprint of composting facilities. These systems are fully enclosed, allowing for precise control of environmental conditions, which accelerates the composting process.
Mar 1, 2023 · focused on the environmental benefits of composting, such as its ability to reduce water pollution and support biodiversity (Tambone et al., 2010). For example, a study published
Mar 1, 2023 · Composting is the most adaptable and fruitful method for managing biodegradable solid wastes; it is a crucial agricultural practice that contributes to recycling farm and agricultural wastes.
Mar 19, 2024 · The biochar is black carbonaceous substance which can improve the soil water holding capacity, nutrient holding capacity, increase the pH of the acidic soil, improve the soil physical and biological properties, decreased the leaching of phosphorus, nitrate and heavy metals due to high surface area of biochar and reduce greenhouse gas emission
Oct 10, 2024 · Compost products for commercial sale typically go through thermophilic composting, where compost reaches high temperatures that reduce pathogens. Compost is a biologically-stable soil amendment produced by the aerobic decomposition of organic materials.
Mar 26, 2015 · For centuries, animal manures have been a traditional source of nutrients in agriculture. However, disposal of animal manure has become an environmental problem in recent times as a result of increased concentration of animal production within small geographic areas. Manure nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) applied in excess of the assimilative soil capacity have the potential to reach and
Feb 8, 2024 · With the increase of organic solid wastes (OSWs), current waste management practices, such as landfill, incineration, and windrow composting, have shown weaknesses in both resource recycling and environmental protection. Co-composting has been used to achieve nutrient and carbon recycling but is accused of high ammonia emission and low degradation efficiency. Therefore, this study developed a
Mar 28, 2024 · “We have the solutions to solve the waste pollution crisis. We just need commitment, collaboration and investment from governments, businesses and individuals to implement them.” Data monitoring can help identify trends in waste management and help inform smarter design.
