Composting a Mixture of Cactus Pear Pruning Waste and Spent Coffee Grounds: The Chemical Evaluation of Organic Fertilizer in Response to Basil Quality and Growth

Composting a Mixture of Cactus Pear Pruning Waste and Spent Coffee Grounds: The Chemical Evaluation of Organic Fertilizer in Response to Basil Quality and Growth

In specialized orchards, approximately 6–10 tons/hectare of cactus pear pruning waste and 60 million tons of spent coffee grounds are estimated to be produced each year worldwide. Composting is a process that produces stable organic matter useful in agriculture. The aim of this work was to explore t...
