“…This signify that better sinergy of the inoculated AM-tretment in combination with CM, as previously confirmerd by Kato and Miura (2008). Higher soil extractable-P found in this study was not only due to indirect contribution of CM in improving soil fertility status but also related to a positive contribution of mycorrhiza in producing phosphatase enzyme, for mineralization of organic-P in soil (Crowley and Rengel, 2000;Joner and Johansen, 2000) and resulted in enhancing insoluble-P in soils (Orcut and Nilsen, 2000).…”

“…The results of the present study suggest that the use of the sum content of saturated, branched, and methylated FAMEs as a compost maturity index (15) would not be of general use, as the type of original materials can affect FAME composition.…”

Compost biobeds can promote biodegradation of pesticides. The microbial community structure changes during the composting process, and simple methods can potentially be used to follow these changes. In this study the microbial identification (MIDI) and ester-linked (EL) procedures were used to determine the composition of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in composts aged 3 and 12 months, inoculated with 3 recalcitrant pesticides (azoxystrobin, chlorotoluron, and epoxyconazole and a coapplication of all three) after 0, 56, and 125 days of degradation. Pesticide persistence was high, and after 125 days the residue was 22 to 70% of the applied amount depending mostly on the composting age. Seventy-one FAMEs belonging to nine groups were detected. The EL method provided three times as many detections as did the MIDI method and was more sensitive for all FAME groups except alcohol. Thirty-six and five FAMEs were unique to the EL and MIDI methods, respectively. The extraction method was of importance. The EL method provided a higher number of detections for 57 FAMEs, and the MIDI method provided a higher number for 9 FAMEs, while the two methods were equal for 5 FAMEs; thus, the EL method provided a more uniform overall FAME profile. Effects of the other factors were not always clear. Inoculation with pesticide did not influence the FAME profile with the MIDI method, while it influenced cyclopropane and monounsaturated content with the EL method. Composting age and degradation time had an effect on some groups of FAMEs, and this effect was greater with the EL method. The use of some FAMEs as biomarkers to follow microbial community succession was likely influenced by the type of compost and other factors.Plant protection has become a key factor in intensive agriculture, but the widespread use of pesticides can be toxic to nontarget organisms and can lead to ecosystem alterations. Formulated chlorotoluron (a herbicide), azoxystrobin (a fungicide), and epoxyconazole (a fungicide) are commonly used at the postemergence stage mainly for cereals, to control broadleaved weeds and grasses and to control some foliar and soilborne diseases, respectively.Most information on pesticide persistence is derived from registration documents, few studies appear in the scientific literature, and independent research is always suggested. A recent pesticide database (Footprint, 2007; http://www.eu -footprint.org/ppdb.html, accessed April 2010) reports half-life values (days) in soil, derived from laboratory studies at 20°C, of 73.5 for azoxystrobin, 59 for chlorotoluron, and 226 for epoxyconazole. However, a certain variability exists, and in other research half-lives are longer, i.e., more than 2 years (at 10°C) for epoxyconazole (4), 62 to 107 days for azoxystrobin (10), and 30 to 200 days for chlorotoluron (36), showing that significant degradation should be measured on a time scale of months or years (8, 9) according to the results of a recent review on pesticide persistence (3).The use of such persistent pesticides on agricultural fi...

“…Therefore, the addition of a bulking agent is necessary to compost the separated solid fraction of pig manure (Nolan et al, 2011). A bulking agent is the material that adjusts the C/N ratio, provides optimum free air space (FAS), and regulates the water content of the waste to be composted (Gea et al, 2007;Kato and Miura, 2008;Iqbal et al, 2010;Jolanun and Towprayoon, 2010;Doublet et al, 2011), which are usually fibrous with carbonaceous material (Iqbal et al, 2010). The bulking agent represents a large proportion of the composting mixture as a source of carbon and energy for micro-organisms (Adhikari et al, 2009).…”

Mismanagement of the composting process can result in emissions of CH 4 , N 2 O, and NH 3 , which have caused severe environmental problems. This study was aimed at determining whether CH 4 , N 2 O, and NH 3 emissions from composting are affected by bulking agents during rapid composting of pig manure from the Chinese Ganqinfen system. Three bulking agents, corn stalks, spent mushroom compost, and sawdust, were used in composting with pig manure in 60 L reactors with forced aeration for more than a month. Gas emissions were measured continuously, and detailed gas emission patterns were obtained. Concentrations of NH 3 and N 2 O from the composting pig manure mixed with corn stalks or sawdust were higher than those from the spent mushroom compost treatment, especially the sawdust treatment, which had the highest total nitrogen loss among the three runs. Most of the nitrogen was lost in the form of NH 3 , which accounts for 11.16% to 35.69% of the initial nitrogen. One-way analysis of variance for NH 3 emission showed no significant differences between the corn stalk and sawdust treatments, but a significant difference was noted between the spent mushroom compost and sawdust treatments. The introduction of sawdust reduced CH 4 emission more than the corn stalks and spent mushroom compost. However, there were no significant differences among the three runs for total carbon loss. All treatments were matured after 30 d.
