- Microbiological Safety of Chicken Litter or Chicken Litter-Based Organic Fertilizers: A Review (2014, background): “The die-off of pathogens during composting may not be extensive or uniform throughout the composting heaps or piles and depends on some environmental factors, such as microbe type, manure physico-chemical characteristics, aeration, and temperature pattern [62].”
- Comparative effectiveness of different composting methods on the stabilization, maturation and sanitization of municipal organic solid wastes and dried faecal sludge mixtures (2017, background): “Composting and vermicomposting are two of the bestknown processes for biological stabilization of solid organic wastes by transforming them into a safer and more stabilized material that can be used as a source of nutrients and soil conditioner in agricultural applications (Lazcano et al. 2008; Bern”
- Agronomic Efficiency of Animal-Derived Organic Fertilizers and Their Effects on Biology and Fertility of Soil: A Review (2021, background): “Animal waste composting can be considered beneficial in terms of the microbial stabilization, pathogen inactivation, moisture reduction and good fertilizer quality of the end product [53].”
- Compost and compost tea: Principles and prospects as substrates and soil-borne disease management strategies in soil-less vegetable production (2012, background): “…on the formulation of composting mix such as nutrient balance, pH, particle size, porosity, and moisture, as well as process management factors including O2 concentration, temperature, and water content, all affect the composting process and, by extension, compost quality (Bernal et al. 2008).”
- Effect of aeration rate, C/N ratio and moisture content on the stability and maturity of compost. (2012, background): “However, the application of unstable and immature compost would fix nitrogen in the soil and restrict plant growth by competing for oxygen in the rhizosphere and releasing toxic substances (Bernal et al., 2009). ights reserved.”
