Composting of household organic waste and its effects on growth and mineral composition of cherry tomato

Composting is an alternative for recycling biodegradable organic waste, transforming it into organic fertilizer that can be used as agricultural nutrients, avoiding its disposal in landfills. This study evaluated the composting of household organic waste as a substitution for cattle manure, with a view to its application in the fertilization of cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum Mill., Var. Cesariforme). Thus, compost piles were set up using 30% organic waste (carbon source) and 70% tree-pruning residues (filling material). Two sources of organic waste were tested: household food waste (FW) and cattle manure (CM), at five proportions (15% FW + 15% CM, 10% FW + 20% CM, 20% FW + 10% CM and the controls 30% CM and 30% FW). After 90 days, the mature compost from each pile was mixed with coconut fibre in a 1:1 ratio and used as substrate filled in 15 L plastic pots, where the cherry tomato plants were grown. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions in a randomized block design, with five treatments and five replicates. Assessments of growth and leaf mineral composition were performed for the cherry tomato plants. The results indicate that cattle manure can be replaced by household food waste as the organic material used in compost piles. Fertilization with organic compost from household food waste positively influenced the growth and nutrient assimilation in the leaf tissue of cherry tomato.

Boron (B) retranslocation may confer greater tolerance to B deficiency or toxicity, resulting in plants and fruits with better nutritional quality. Most plants do not demonstrate phloem mobility for B; however, some plants have natural mobility and others express it under stress conditions, such as nutritional stress. Therefore, we investigated the phloem mobility of B in cherry tomato plants with different nutritional status. The plants were cultivated in nutrient solution with adequate and insufficient doses of Potassium (K) and B. Furthermore, the plants received foliar fertilization with B in a mature leaf (F) in a localized form. The B content and amount in leaves near F were compared with leaves of the same age and position on control plants. The experiment was carried out in a protected environment and conducted in a randomized complete block design in a subdivided plot scheme with four replicates. Re-translocation of B between neighboring leaves was observed when the plant was without K deficiency and with B deficiency. In this nutritional status, leaves next to fertilized leaf with B (F) showed higher B amount when compared to leaves of the same position of control plants. Evidence suggests that retranslocation of B over relatively short distances (between leaves) can be influenced by the nutritional status the cherry tomato plants.

Fruit Waste

The Kalimbu market is one of the traditional markets in South Sulawesi with a very high buying and selling activity. The organic waste that is mostly generated from the activities at the Kalimbu Market is leftover vegetables and fruit. Vegetable and fruit waste provides a big advantage if it is managed properly, which is converted into liquid organic fertilizer through a fermentation process. The liquid organic fertilizers produced can help farmers overcome the high price of synthetic fertilizers and save the earth from pollution. The method used to determine the effect of types of organic waste (vegetable waste and fruit waste) on the physical and chemical quality of solid and liquid organic fertilizers used a randomized block design. Whereas the application of solid and liquid organic fertilizers to the production and nutritional content of potato plants used a treatment consisting of P0: basic fertilizer + without liquid organic fertilizer and P1: basic fertilizer + liquid organic fertilizer. The results of research on the manufacture of liquid organic fertilizer from Kalimbu market waste with vegetable and fruit samples also showed that the two samples required different storage times for composting. Plants treated with liquid organic fertilizer from the Kalimbu market waste have better stem growth, leaf number, and stem number.Keywords: Waste, organic, fermentation, hydroponic

The cherry tomato is a vegetable that is gaining great prominence commercially and, for this reason, are being developed alternatives that aim to its production of more sustainable way. Among these alternatives are the use of organic fertilizers and barriers alive. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth and gas exchange of cherry tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum var. Cerasiforme) cultivated under different organic fertilizations in an environment with and without alive barrier. The experimental design was randomized blocks with split-plot to the variables leaf area, leaves dry mass and stem dry mass, relative index of chlorophyll, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration and water use efficiency, being the plots defined by two environments (with or without barrier) and the subplots formed by the sources of organic fertilizer (chicken manure, bovine manure and without fertilization), with five repetitions. As for the variables plant height, stem diameter, used a split-split plot design with sub-subplots formed by the seven evaluation epochs (7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 49 days after transplanting). When cultivated in alive barrier environment and under fertilization with chicken manure, cherry tomato plants presented higher growth in height and stem diameter, with no difference between the leaf and stem dry masses. In contrast, the without alive barrier environment provided an increase in chlorophyll content and increases of 55.38%, 34.49% and 46.81% in stomatal conductance, photosynthesis and transpiration, respectively. For WUE, the environment with alive barrier was higher in 18.71%.

Une étude a été entreprise sur les Hautes Terres malgaches. L’objectif est d’évaluer l’effet de la poudre d’os et le fumier de zébu sur la croissance et le rendement de haricot (Phaseolus vulgaris). L’expérimentation a été mise en place avec un dispositif en blocs randomisés à quatre répétitions et quatre traitements : (1) parcelles témoins non fertilisées (T0) et parcelles fertilisées respectivement par (2) de fumier de zébu pur (Tfu), (3) de fumier de zébu combiné avec du N11P22K16 (Tfu+NPK) et (4) de fumier de zébu combiné avec de la poudre d’os (Tfu+os). Les résultats ont montré que la combinaison de fertilisants organiques et minéraux a offert de meilleures croissances (hauteur de la plante et nombre des feuilles) par rapport au simple apport de fertilisant organique. Par ailleurs, les rendements en grains de haricots ont été significativement plus élevés avec Tfu+os (1,77 t.ha-1) par rapport aux traitements Tfu+NPK (1,47 t.ha-1) et Tfu (1,32 t.ha-1). Ces trois traitements étant significativement plus élevés que le traitement témoin sans aucun apport de fertilisant T0 (0,73 t.ha-1). En conclusion, l’apport de la poudre d’os apparaît comme un bon substitut à l’emploi d’engrais de synthèse et pourrait être recommandé pour la production de haricot.Mots clés : Engrais minéral ; phénologie de haricot ; sol ferrallitique ; rendement de culture. English Title: Bone powder and zebu manure effects on beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L) production in Highlands of MadagascarAn experiment was carried out in Highlands of Madagascar. This study aims to assess zebu bone powder and cattle manure effects in fertilization for common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) growth and yield. Four treatments were compared in a complete randomized block design with four replications: (1) no-fertilized control plots (T0) and fertilized plots respectively with (2) cattle manure only (Tfu); (3) mixed fertilization with cattle manure and N11P22K16 (Tfu+ N11P22K16); and (4) mixed fertilization with cattle manure and bone powder (Tfu + os). In result, mixed fertilizer with organic and mineral improved significantly bean growth parameters (plant height and number of leaf plant) compared with organic fertilizer alone. Bean grain yields were significantly higher with Tfu+os (1.77 t.ha-1) compared to Tfu + NPK (1.47 t.ha 1) and Tfu (1.32 t. ha-1) and which were not significantly different. The control T0 (0.73 t.ha-1) showed significantly lower yield than the three other treatments. In fact, bone powder could be encouraged locally as an alternative resource to synthetic fertilizer.Keywords: Mineral fertilization; bean phenology; ferralitic soil; crop yield.

The People

In modern agriculture, most of the biochemicals and inorganic fertilizer had been used for the plantation on the worldwide scale. Whilst, the issue of food waste had created concern for the global community because of its potential for pollution. In Brunei Darussalam, food waste has the highest percentage followed by paper and plastic. According to the Scientia Bruneiana, vol.17, no.2, according to the Department of Environment, Parks, and Recreations, 400 – 500 tonnes of waste goes to Sg. Paku landfill in Tutong District each day. This issue was raised by the people that prioritized the application of the Macro Organic Local which is the organic fertilizer derived from rainwater and food waste. They emphasize the concept of zero-waste and go-green to manage the problems of the polluted environment. Therefore, ‘Potilizer’ production that is based on the organic sources mainly from banana peels is to solve the problems of food waste and raise awareness to the community to reduce waste. ‘Potilizer’ aims to reach out to the farmers, entrepreneurs, and individuals to fully utilize organic waste and to be confident in its usage. The methodology used is by conducting some experiments on each type of plant-based on the research study from the existing information with regard to farming. The use of data collection is from the books, the internet, by interviewing the farmers and conducting the survey about natural fertilizer. The novelty of this product is by the application of the conservation concept and it will present as the first organic fertilizer in Brunei Darussalam to be commercialized at a very affordable price and good quality. ‘Potilizer’ has the opportunity to penetrate the market as it can benefit the farmers, entrepreneurs, agricultural school institutions, as well as for the house-gardening purposes to assist them in this field.
