Current and residual effects of compost and inorganic fertilizer on wheat and soil chemical properties (2014, positive): “In line with this result, Ouedraogo et al. (2001) reported a significant increase in CEC with the application of 10 t ha-1 compost in Burkina Faso.”
Organic amendments as sustainable tool to recovery fertility in intensive agricultural systems (2015, background): “In this context, the use of compost has been proposed, both for conventional and biological systems of agriculture, to improve soil fertility and then crop yields (Wong et al., 1999; Ouédraogo et al., 2001; Bonanomi et al., 2014b).”
Fruit production and quality of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are affected by green compost and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2011, background): “Recent researches (Valdrighi et al. 1996; Atiyeh et al. 2000; Ouédraogo et al. 2001; Cooperband et al. 2002) about several horticultural and economical species growing in substrates with different soil/ compost ratio confirm the beneficial effects of compost on shoot and root development.”
Sustainability Analysis of Ecological and Conventional Agricultural Systems in Bangladesh (2003, background): “In addition; good soil structure acts as buffer against acidity, alkalinity, and other toxicity in soil (Altieri, 1995; Conway, 1990; Hossain & Kashem, 1997; Ouedraogo et al., 2001; Repetto, 1987).”
