ABSTRACT

Composting is an alternative for recycling biodegradable organic waste, transforming it into organic fertilizer that can be used as agricultural nutrients, avoiding its disposal in landfills. This study evaluated the composting of household organic waste as a substitution for cattle manure, with a view to its application in the fertilization of cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum Mill., Var. Cesariforme). Thus, compost piles were set up using 30% organic waste (carbon source) and 70% tree-pruning residues (filling material). Two sources of organic waste were tested: household food waste (FW) and cattle manure (CM), at five proportions (15% FW + 15% CM, 10% FW + 20% CM, 20% FW + 10% CM and the controls 30% CM and 30% FW). After 90 days, the mature compost from each pile was mixed with coconut fibre in a 1:1 ratio and used as substrate filled in 15 L plastic pots, where the cherry tomato plants were grown. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions in a randomized block design, with five treatments and five replicates. Assessments of growth and leaf mineral composition were performed for the cherry tomato plants. The results indicate that cattle manure can be replaced by household food waste as the organic material used in compost piles. Fertilization with organic compost from household food waste positively influenced the growth and nutrient assimilation in the leaf tissue of cherry tomato.

Answer 2

Answer:

Compositing farming Non -Compositing farming

It helps the soil to retain more moisture. Continue water supply needed to provide moisture.

No need of chemical or inorganic fertilizers. It needs chemical fertilizers to provide nutrients.

It helps to grow beneficial bacteria and fungi that produce humus(nutrient-rich substance). Bacteria are not generally found due to lack of organic substance.

Fertility of soil increases as organic substances are used. Fertility of soil decrease as use of chemical fertilizer is essential to maintain production.

It is very cost effective as it uses the waste material like leaves , grasses,cow dunk etc. It is quite costly as every time we need to invest in various fertilizers and pesticides.
