“…Composting will enhance the soil structure and improve the water retention, whereas the organic matter of the compost aids in protecting plants from diseases or pests when it is used as a fertilizer [125]. The usage of chemical fertilizers could be reduced as they may cause groundwater pollution [126]. Therefore, composting of food waste should become an alternative to chemical fertilizers and eliminates the necessity for them.…”

Over the last decade, food waste has been one of the major issues globally as it brings a negative impact on the environment and health. Rotting discharges methane, causing greenhouse effect and adverse health effects due to pathogenic microorganisms or toxic leachates that reach agricultural land and water system. As a solution, composting is implemented to manage and reduce food waste in line with global sustainable development goals (SDGs). This review compiles input on the types of organic composting, its characteristics, physico-chemical properties involved, role of microbes and tools available in determining the microbial community structure. Composting types: vermi-composting, windrow composting, aerated static pile composting and in-vessel composting are discussed. The diversity of microorganisms in each of the three stages in composting is highlighted and the techniques used to determine the microbial community structure during composting such as biochemical identification, polymerase chain reaction denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE), terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and single strand-conformation polymorphism (SSCP), microarray analysis and next-generation sequencing (NGS) are discussed. Overall, a good compost, not only reduces waste issues, but also contributes substantially to the economic and social sectors of a nation.

“…It seems that ammonium sulphate enriched soils with N which is needed for plant growth. On the other hand, N was subjected to excessive N leaching in sandy soils (Shareef et al 2019); yet, its combination with compost might effectively reduce N leaching loss from soils (Xu et al 2020). Accordingly, N uptake increased and accumulated within different canola plant parts owing to N fertilization (Svečnjak and Rengel 2006).…”

A fIelD experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Soil and Water Research Department, Nuclear Research Centre, Atomic energy Authority, Inshas, egypt to investigate the effects of radiating canola seeds with γ-ray at three doses, i.e. 100, 200 and 300 Gy vs the non-irradiated controlon plant growth performance and yield productivity. Nitrogen fertilization and the source of irrigation water were also matters of concern in this study. All experimental plots received the recommended dose of N-fertilizers (150 kg N ha-1) in either of the following forms:100% mineral-N, 100% organic-N or 50% mineral-N +50% organic-N. Also, a drip irrigation-system was constructed to irrigate canola plants with either freshwater or treated-wastewater. Irradiation, in general, resulted in higher values of canola-dry-weights which were enhanced by increasing gamma ray dose up to 300Gy. Similarly, NPK contents within different plant parts of the irradiated-canola increased in an order coincide with the magnitudes of the used irradiation dose, i.e. 300Gy> 200Gy >100Gy > 0Gy. Moreover, oil yield was significantly increased with increasing gamma dose. On the other hand, the enhancement of NPK uptake was more vigorous in case of combined-fertilization-treatment (50% mineral-N +50% organic-N) than the application of either 100% mineral-N or 100% organic-N. This consequently raised significantly root and shoot dry weights as well as seed yield and canola oil productivity. It seems that irrigation with treated wastewater resulted in higher increases in NPK uptake as well as canola oil yield than irrigation with freshwater. Thus, it can be deduced that the combined-fertilization-treatment and high irradiation dose of gamma-ray had achieved the highest increases in plant DW and productivity (5.3 Mg seed yield ha-1), at the same time these values were higher under irrigation with treated wastewater than those irrigated with fresh water.

“…Greenhouse vegetable systems are widely practised in China and account for 55% of the total vegetable cultivation area (Liang et al, 2019). However, the excessive application of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers via conventional flooding irrigation is often utilized in greenhouse vegetable systems in China has led to a series of environmental issues, such as nutrient leaching (Xu et al, 2020), soil degradation (Bai et al, 2020), and a reduction in the yield and quality of vegetables.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that the application of organic fertilizer was an eco-friendly strategy for sustainable vegetable production (Yi et al, 2021), this practice can enhance vegetable yields (Zhou et al, 2019a), reduce nutrient losses (Xu et al, 2020), decrease greenhouse gas emissions (Gruda et al, 2019), control vegetable diseases (van Bruggen et al, 2015), and maintain soil health (Luan et al, 2019). However, previous studies have reported inconsistent results regarding organic fertilizer addition in greenhouse vegetable systems.…”

To better understand the responses of vegetable yields in a greenhouse system to organic fertilizer through a quantitative evaluation based on peer-reviewed journal articles and in consideration of environmental managerial factors. We conducted a meta-analysis of 453 paired observations from 68 peer-reviewed journal articles to assess the response of vegetable yields in greenhouse vegetable systems in China to organic fertilization. Compared with the control (no organic fertilizer), organic fertilization significantly increased the yields of vegetables by 44.11% on average. The response of vegetable yields to organic fertilizer tended to increase with the increasing experimental duration. Organic fertilizer application had the greatest potential for leafy vegetables (+76.44%), in loamy soils (+53.94%), at moderate organic fertilizer carbon input levels (+54.13%), and in soils with moderate initial soil total nitrogen levels (+50.89%). Aggregated boosted tree analysis indicated that organic fertilizer carbon inputs, vegetable type and experimental duration were the predominant factors that manipulated the response of vegetable yields to organic fertilizer application. The rational application of farmyard manure would be a promising strategy for increasing vegetable yields in greenhouse vegetable systems in China. Factoring in vegetable type, carbon and nitrogen inputs of organic fertilizer, and soil texture would benefit vegetable yields with the application of organic fertilizer.
