Abstract Evaluation of the maturity of domestic refuse compost has been widely recognized
as one of the most important problems concerning the composting process and the …

Biomaturity of a compost is essential for its optimal use as a soil amendment and a source of
plant nutrients. Immature composts pose problems of malodours and fire during storage; …

Aerobic composting is an efficient method to recover nutrients from animal manure.
However, there is considerable variability in the management and maturity criteria used …

The phytotoxicity of spent pig-manure sawdust litter (spent litter) was evaluated during
further composting. Aqueous extracts of the spent litter were prepared by shaking the …

The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in physical, chemical and biological
parameters to assess the maturity and stability of composts prepared from mixture of …

A composting experiment was carried out to study which are the best parameters to use as
indicators of the degree of compost maturity, and to determine 'humification'indices for …

Sixteen composts consisting of 14 commercial samples, one immature yard waste compost
and one raw material of mostly grass clip**s were evaluated for their stability. In a three …

This review presents the current state of knowledge on the relationship between the
environment and the use of municipal waste compost in terms of health risk assessment …

The changes in microbial properties, including total aerobic heterotrophs, O2-consumption
rate, ATP content, dehydrogenase activity and microbial biomass C and N of the spent pig …

Determination of different indicators of microbial biomass, community structure, and
