“…Indeed, Gómez-Brandón et al [24] found that distilled grape marc-derived vermicompost was characterized by a reduced bacterial communities' functional diversity, assessed as a proxy of their metabolic capacity when compared to the respective raw marc [13]. Taken together, this highlights the clear need for more comprehensive studies on distilled grape marc to further evaluate the effectiveness of vermicomposting for the biological stabilization of this winery by-product on a pilot-scale level given the limited evidence to date in comparison with raw marc [23][24][25][26] (Table 1).…”

The present study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of vermicomposting for the valorization of distilled grape marc, one of the main solid by-products of the winery sector during a 56-day pilot-scale trial. The increase in the density and biomass of earthworms (Eisenia andrei) during the earlier stages of the process reflected the suitability of the distilled marc (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Mencía) as feedstock in order to sustain large earthworm populations on a pilot-scale level. Supporting this, from 14 days onwards the pH of Mencía distilled marc fell within weak-alkaline levels and the electrical conductivity was between 0.21 and 0.11 mS cm−2 providing optimum conditions for earthworm growth. A rapid decrease in microbial activity as well as in the content of total polyphenols, both indicative of stabilized materials was also recorded after 14 days of vermicomposting. Moreover, the content of macro- and micronutrients in the end product matched with those considered to have the quality criteria of a good vermicompost with respect to plant health and safe agricultural use. Altogether, it underlines the feasibility of vermicomposting as an environment-friendly approach for the biological stabilization of distilled grape marc fulfilling both environmental protection and fertilizer production.

“…This ratio will continue to increase as the demand for food increases. Most solid organic wastes are biodegradable but cannot be applied directly to the soil as uncontrolled degradation can damage the soil system (Hanc et al, 2019). Efficient treatment, use and recycling of these organic wastes reduce resource waste and prevent secondary pollution by reducing ammonia and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.…”

Compost is usually made of biodegradable wastes. Today, compost, bio-agent bacteria and mycorrhizae are used as the key components of sustainable agriculture. This study was conducted to determine the effects of compost treatments alone and combined with bacteria, mycorrhiza and commercial fertilizers on growth, flower and bulb quality parameters of the ‘Jan van Nes’ tulip cultivar. Compost was made of grape pomace and set at different EC levels. Three different compost ratios (0%, 20% and 40%), three different EC levels (0.75, 1.10, and 1.45 dS/m) and combinations with or without bacteria and mycorrhizae were experimented. Flower stalk length, perianth length and vase life were identified as the most striking parameters for growth and flowering of tulip plants. The best outcomes in terms of flower stem length (34.20 cm), perianth length (44.85 mm) and vase life (7.00 days) were obtained from 0% compost treatments. Increasing compost ratios had adverse effects on plant growth and bacteria and mycorrhizae treatments alone did not provide any significant effects. However, combining with different compost ratios increased the effectiveness of bacteria and mycorrhiza. EC of 0.75 yielded better results than the other EC levels.

“…Recycling, reuse and valorization of waste are possible solutions potentiating the circular economy (Hollins et al, 2017). Although most of the waste generated by anthropogenic activities is biodegradable, it should not be directly applied because its uncontrolled decomposition can have negative effects on soil systems (Hanc et al, 2019a). Organic matter from waste can be decomposed and stabilized in a process in which microorganisms play an important role.…”
