Recovery of Agricultural Waste to Obtain Compost
Keywords:
compost, food waste, recycling
Abstract
The aim of this study is to make compost in a specialized container, using household and agricultural waste from own farm and the physicochemical characterization of obtained compost. The physicochemical characterization of the compost samples was carried out through the following determinations: determination of moisture, pH, determination of total soluble salts, determination of nitrate nitrogen, determination of nitrite, determination of ammonium nitrogen and determination of organic matter content. The compost samples analysed showed a high physicochemical quality. The use of compost offers environmentally friendly solutions with a long-term impact on the environment and quality of life.
