Co-Compost Of The Sludge With Plant Waste


Abstract in English

The study was conducted during the period 2010-2012 in the Faculty of agriculture at the University of Tishreen, with a view to obtain organic fertilizer (sludge with plant waste), through compost it in the form of a pile within an isolated device. The changes have been monitoring with some physical and chemical properties of the fermented substance for the duration of fermentation, by taking samples each month and analyzed them in the laboratory. The study has included change physical and chemical residue during the fermentation process, where the temperature has reached in the center of pile to 70 degrees Celsius and the device temperature exceeded 70 degrees Celsius to 72 degrees Celsius, and either of the pH in the fermented substance had arrived to the 7.4in the pile and 7.45 in the device, the percentage had dropped C/N from 30/1 to 18/1 of the pile and 17/1 of the device, showing the death of 99% of the huminth eggs of the intestinal worms after 26 days from the beginning of the composting process by crumpling and 97% of the huminth eggs intestinal worms had died after 10 days from the beginning of the composting process in the device.
