Opis

Waste Management for Sustainable and Restored Agricultural Soil provides a holistic approach to various mechanisms of waste management for plant nutrients, highlighting the importance of improving plant growth, nutrient concentration, and system sustainability for enhancing crop production and achieving desired environmental goals. Covering a broad overview of different kinds of wastes and waste recycling methods and sustainable management for soil health, this book focuses on both basic and applied aspects of waste management for sustainable agriculture and how nutrients are made available through waste. Academics, professionals, researchers and policymakers working in the fields of safe waste management for potential use in agricultural crop production will benefit from this book.
