Physicochemical evaluation of composts produced from coffee pulp and some locally available organic matterat Dale District, Ethiopia
Author(s): Alemayehu Emana* and Giche Y Hirpha
Composting is proved to be environment friendly effective management option for the increasing volume of coffee wastes generated and causing significant environmental degradation in developing countries. In view of this, the quality of composts produced from coffee pulp with locally available organic matter following the windrow method was examined based on four treatments in randomized complete block design (4x3). The study involved determining some physicochemical parameters at 25, 55 and 80 days of composting. Mean values of bulk density, moisture content, pH, electric conductivity, organic matter, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorous, total potassium and carbon to nitrogen ratio ranged from 483.6 kg/m –487.11 kg/m3, 50.74%–52.43%, 7.45-8.36, 3.08 mS/cm-3.42 mS/cm, 45.26%-46.99%, 26.19%-27.27%, 1.54%-1.61%, 0.41%-0.59%, ..
