Preliminary studies on microbial and physico-chemical processes on compost / Margaret Chan Kit Yok ... [et al.].

The preliminary studies of the microbial dynamic and population of the composting process of ornamental palm leaf waste showed that the physico-chemical factors of the compost process played a vital role. The three phases of composting: the degradation phase, the conversion phase and maturation phas...
