An increasing body of experimental evidence indicates that plant disease can be suppressed by treating plant surfaces with a variety of water-based compost preparations, referred to in the literature as watery fermented compost extracts or compost teas. The terms nonaerated compost teas (NCT) and aerated compost teas (ACT) are used in this review to refer…

Moisture is a key environmental factor that affects many aspects of the composting process. Biodegradation kinetics are affected by moisture through changes in oxygen diffusion, water potential and water activity, and microbial growth rates. These relationships are made more complex by the dynamic nature of the composting process, with changes in particle size and structure…
AbstractThe trend toward more efficient methods of compost production and handling requires a complete understanding of the process, the materials involved, and the physical parameters of the materials such as moisture content, bulk density, and various mechanical properties. These properties influence the process and product in various ways from aeration effectiveness to compost-soil interactions. This…
Sixteen composts consisting of 14 commercial samples, one immature yard waste compost and one raw material of mostly grass clippings were evaluated for their stability. In a three-day incubation test, the commercial composts yielded from 9 to 99 mg CO2/kg/ hr, with a mean CO2 production rate of 61 mg CO2/kg/hr. By contrast, the immature…
The chemical, physical, and biological conditions of soil and growing media can be substantively improved by the addition of compost. Compost contains many plant essential nutrients (e.g. N, P, and K) and can also be a source of organic matter. However, concerns persist over composts with a high concentration of soluble salts and their effects…
