Abstract

The objective of this experimental study was to determine the viability of recycling industrial olive wastes by means of composting with poultry manures. The evolution of the physic-chemicals composting parameters was studied. The quality of the obtained compost was evaluated. The results showed that during the composting process, a high microbial activity was translated by a quick increase in temperature (65 °C) in 9 days. At the end of the composting process, the nutrient content of the compost was high, thus benefiting plant growth. Also, the increase of nitrogen contents indicated a high-quality soil amendment. The final compost has a C/N ratio close to 10, and the abundance of the agrochemical elements. Finally, the germination index test revealed that the obtained compost induced germination indexes of approximately 88%, indicating that the current compost can be used as soil and crop biofertilizers.
