Abstract:

Compost manure is a product of decomposition of organic materials. The quality of compost manure depends on the composition of the materials used (Table 1) and the degree of decomposition. Compost manure can improve the soil physical properties and increase the capacity of the soil to supply plant nutrients. Continuous application of compost manure can enrich poor soils and maintain the fertility of rich ones.
