Recycling of municipal solid waste into valuable organic fertilizer towards rejuvenation of crop physiology, yield and soil health

<p>Ujjain is known as one of the most significant cities of the India as Singhastha 2016 just passed by. Singhastha is an event where Billions of devotees come to take a dip in holy river Shipra for whole One month. In Ujjain average total solid waste generation now is about 226 tons per day in the city area only. A huge amount of money is spent by the Local government on the solid waste management transportation to trenching grounds. The trenching grounds are situated at 20 Kms away from the city in different directions. Solid Waste Management also produces various problems which create many issues with wastage of money therefore; a big need for the ecofriendly disposal technique is been posted. In this paper we are proposing a technique known as vermicomposting which is a good solution to treatment of organic solid wastes. In this technique we have found the degradation of organic municipal solid waste by earthworms. In the research work the temperature is been maintained at 25-35°c, moisture content maintained about at 45- 55% and pH between 7.0-7.3. About 100 grams earthworms {Eisenia Fetida} per kilogram of municipal solid waste were taken. The final result shows that the organic municipal solid wasted are been converted to manure in a time period of 35 - 36 days through vermicomposting technique and about 63% volume of municipal solid waste is reduced for transportation.</p>

Municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) is considered as one of the prominent fertilizers that improve soil health and productivity. To evaluate the effects of MSWC on plant growth, an experiment was conducted by using sole MSWC and with a combination of inorganic fertilizer. The sole MSWC was applied at the rate of 0, 5, 10, 15 t ha-1. In case of MSWC with inorganic fertilizer, MSWC was applied equally (5 t ha-1) and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers were applied at 100 and 50 kg ha-1, respectively. Nitrogen was the only variable nutrient. Nitrogen was applied three different doses (25, 50 and 100 kg ha-1) along with control. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) was grown as experimental plant and maximum yield (72.7±6.3 t ha-1) of tomato was found when sole MSWC was applied at 15 t ha-1 and was significantly higher than other treatments. When MSWC was applied in combination with inorganic fertilizer, the combination 5 t ha-1 MSWC +100 kg N ha-1 +100 kg TSP ha-1 +50 kg MoP ha-1 produced maximum yield (79.0±3.2 t ha-1). So, application of sole MSWC in soil enhanced the productivity of soil and side by side, MSWC in combination with inorganic fertilizer reduced the volume of MSWC application.

Abstract The effects of organic fertilizer to improve soil fertility and crop yield depend on the quality of organic fertilizer. The aim of this study was to test the short-term effects of the applications of municipal solid wastes (MSW) compost, co-composted biochar and biochar on soil quality and faba bean (Vicia faba L.) grain yield and protein content compared with mineral fertilizer. The study was conducted in a field experiment prepared in randomized complete block design with three replicates of each treatment from February 2019 to June 2019. The eight treatments were; control compost, 5%, 15% and 25% w/w co-composted biochars, recommended rate of mineral N & P fertilizer (NPF), biochar, compost + 50% NPF, and control soil. Results showed that the soil pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable K+, Ca + 2 and Mg + 2 CEC and moisture in the residual soil were significantly increased in the municipal solid waste compost, co-composted biochar and khat-derived biochar amendments compared to the mineral NPF and control soil treatments. The faba bean grain yield was increased significantly (p < 0.05) by 34.2%, 33.7% and 30.% compared to the control soil and by 11.3%, 10.9% and 7.8% compared to the mineral NPF for the 5% co-composted biochar, compost + 50% NPF and control compost respectively. The organic fertilizer amendments with or without NPF applications were better than NPF alone with promoting nutrient concentrations, faba bean grain yield and protein contents. Thus, MSW compost and co-composted biochars are recommended because of their easy availability, sustainability and sufficient for proper growth of faba bean.

Penurunan kualitas dan produktivitas sumberdaya lahan pertanian terutama disebabkan oleh kandungan C-organik yang rendah dan pemupukan yang tidak diimbangi dengan pupuk organik. Cara mengatasinya adalah mengembalikan bahan organik ke lahan pertanian melalui penggunaan pupuk kompos atau pupuk organik granul (POG) berbahan baku kompos. Pupuk kompos sebaiknya dibuat dari seluruh potensi bahan organik yang ada. Timbulan sampah kota yang besar dengan prosentase bahan organik yang tinggi, memiliki karakteristik yang cocok untuk dijadikan pupuk kompos berkualitas baik, dalam rangka memenuhi kebutuhan pupuk organik. Pupuk komposmemiliki kemampuan untuk memperbaiki dan meningkatkan sifat fisik, biologi dan kimia tanah. Keberhasilan program penggunaan pupuk kompos atau pupuk organic yang lain sangat bergantung kepada dukungan stakeholders terkait, serta kepercayaan petani untuk menggunakan pupuk organik. Dengan ketersedian pupuk organik yang berkualitas, yang diberikan secara berimbang bersama pupuk kimia, maka kualitas dan produksivitas sumberdaya lahan pertanian dapat ditingkatkan sehingga dapat mendukung dan memperkuat kemandirian pangan. Kata Kunci: Sumberdaya lahan pertanian, pupuk organik, sampah kota, kompos, kemandirian pangan. AbstractThe quality and productivity degrade of agricultural land resources mainly due to the low level of C-organic content and the fertilizing that do not use organic fertilizers. The way to solve it is by restoring the organic matter to agricultural land through the use of compost or organic fertilizer granules made from compost. Compost should be made from all organic materials that have potential. The high level of municipal solid waste generation with a high percentage of organic matter, contain the characteristics that are suitable to made a good quality compost, in order to meet the needs of organic fertilizer. Compost has the ability to improve and enhance the physical, biological and chemical soil properties. The successful of compost or other organic fertilizer utilization program is mainly depend on the stakeholders support, as well as the confidence of farmers to use organic fertilizer. With the availability of good quality of organic fertilizer, which is given in a balanced way with chemical fertilizers, the quality and productivity of agricultural land resources can be improved to support and strengthen the food self-sufficiency.Key words: Agricultural land resource, organic fertilizer, municipal solid waste, compost, food self sufficiency.

Recent changes in environmental legislation highlighted the need to find ways to solve the problems of organizing the collection of municipal waste, its secondary use and recycling. Depending on the geographic, climatic, economic and resource features of each region, ways to solve these problems may vary significantly. The article, using the example of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Ugra, assesses the resource of existing landfills for the disposal of municipal solid waste, as well as the degree of provision of the district with enterprises for the collection and processing of secondary material resources. It has been formulated the main reasons of measures failure to form an ecological worldview among the population of the district. During the study, the authors conducted a survey of Surgut citizens to assess their readiness for the implementation of separate waste collection. The survey results showed that most of the population is potentially ready to waste sorting. A rational method was proposed for organizing the selective collection of municipal waste, as well as ways to minimize the amount of certain fractions. The article considers the possibilities of recycling individual components of the waste, taking into account the specifics and needs of the northern region. The authors proposed such methods of processing certain fractions of municipal waste that allow you to get products that are most in demand in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug. Based on the assessment results of the morphological composition of the district’s municipal solid waste, it is proposed to recycle the organic part of the waste by composting, the product of which will be in demand as organic fertilizer in greening urban areas. It is proposed to recycle paper waste into ecowool, followed by use as insulation of residential buildings. In addition, this processing product can be claimed as a sorbent in the liquidation of oil spills, which take place due to the specifics of the region.
