Composting has become a preferable option to treat organic wastes to obtain a final stable sanitized product that can be used as an organic amendment. From home composting to big municipal waste treatment plants, composting is one of the few technologies that can be practically implemented at any scale. This review explores some of the essential issues in the field of composting/compost research: on one hand, the main parameters related to composting performance are compiled, with especial emphasis on the maturity and stability of compost; on the other hand, the main rules of applying compost on crops and other applications are explored in detail, including all the effects that compost can have on agricultural land. Especial attention is paid to aspects such as the improvement of the fertility of soils once compost is applied, the suppressor effect of compost and some negative experiences of massive compost application.

通过堆肥回收有机废物：工艺性能和堆肥在农业中的应用

堆肥已成为处理有机废物以获得可用作有机改良剂的最终稳定卫生产品的首选方法。从家庭堆肥到大型市政垃圾处理厂，堆肥是可在任何规模上实际实施的为数不多的技术之一。这篇综述探讨了堆肥/堆肥研究领域的一些基本问题：一方面，汇编了与堆肥性能有关的主要参数，其中特别着重于堆肥的成熟度和稳定性。另一方面，详细探讨了在作物上施用堆肥的主要规则和其他应用，包括堆肥对农田的所有影响。尤其要注意一些方面，例如在施用堆肥后如何提高土壤的肥力，
