For this purpose, it was necessary to determine the degradation conditions through the monitoring of physicochemical parameters (temperature, pH, humidity, organic matter (OM), total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN) and the carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio). Therefore, this research aimed to study this process using orange peel (OP) waste at the laboratory level. Among the alternatives for valorization is the vermicomposting process, which consists of the degradation of organic waste through the action of earthworms and microorganisms. The industrialization process of oranges generates waste, which is inadequately disposed of this produces adverse effects on the environment.

Preferred complementary substrate compared to perlite. Horticultural crops, for its greater ability to buffer pH and EC changes, vermiculite could represent the Suggest that at field scale, orange compost may be used for organic fertilization while in nurseryĬrops it can be mixed with commercial potting substrates selected in relation to plant sensitivity. In field crops shoot mass weight was increased after compost addition. Selectively induced pH and electrical conductivity (EC) increases, which in turn would affect A greenhouse experiment with two nursery crops (tomato and zucchini) showed that,ĭepending on the characteristics of the growing substrate (vermiculite or perlite), orange compost addition

Phytotoxicity (determined on test plants according to ISO methods) and low content of simple phenolicĬompounds.

Waste reached an acceptable degree of maturity in terms of humification parameters, absence of Following a 5-month aerobic bioconversion, orange Provided compost maturity is duly evaluated. Composting represents a valuable strategy for recycling orange processing waste for use as soil conditioner,
