Determination of the biomaturity of a compost is a critical point. It can be estimated by chemical analysis or optical measurements (Mathur et al. 1993). N-mineralization and N– immobilisation of composts can be assessed by the method of incubation and by germination tests. However, these methods are time consuming. We therefore compared facile and quick tests with those standard methods.
