Local organic wastes - important source for soil fertility remediation

Abstract

Soil fertility and productivity restoration may be ensured partially from the local sources of organic matter as: byproducts of livestock sector (cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, horses and poultry manure), crop wastes (straw, organic crop residues, green fertilizers), alcoholic beverages production wastes (wine yeast, vinasse, distillers grains). The mentioned wastes are biologically and chemically very active, are in permanent transformation, have the strongest and diverse pollutant load. At the same time, they contain elements essential for plant life that help improve soil fertility and increase crop productivity.
