          Abstract

          En el presente trabajo se realizó un estudio de compostaje de bagazo de agave utilizando nitrato de amonio (NH4NO3) como fuente de nitrógeno para ajustar la relación C:N del bagazo a 25:1. El compostaje fue con bagazo proveniente de dos fábricas de tequila ("La Cofradía" y "La Regional") donde la diferencia principal del bagazo es el sistema de extracción de los azúcares fermentables. Se formaron 4 pilas, dos por cada fuente de bagazo. Al formarse las pilas se colocaron en cada una de ellas a diferentes niveles, 8 sensores de temperatura. El promedio de los cambios de temperatura se graficó para cada día. Tanto los bagazos como sus respectivas compostas fueron analizados por pH, conductividad y densidad de campo, así como por su contenido de cenizas, materia orgánica, carbono orgánico total (COT), nitrógeno total Kjeldahl (NTK) hemicelulosa y celulosa. Después de 126 días de compostaje, la pérdida real de materia seca y teóricas de materia orgánica y volumen fueron de 62.2, 73.6 y 76.9 % respectivamente para la composta con bagazo de "La Cofradía", mientras que para la composta con bagazo de "La Regional" las pérdidas fueron del 65.8, 71.5 y 76.9% respectivamente. También a las compostas se les realizó un análisis de fitotoxicidad y granulometría, así como algunas determinaciones de propiedades hidrológicas como agua fácilmente asimilable (AFA), agua de reserva (AR), agua difícilmente asimilable (ADA) y capacidad de aire. Al refinar las compostas de ambas tequileras se lograron obtener algunas características hidrológicas muy similares a las de una turba. En pruebas de invernadero con jitomate, no se encontró diferencia significativa (p ≤ 0.5) entre usar las dos compostas de bagazo de agave y los substratos comerciales (estopa de coco y "cocopeat") al evaluar la producción y calidad de jitomates del primero al quinto corte después de 55 días del transplante.

          The present paper reports on the results of an agave bagasse composting study using ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) as nitrogen source to adjust the agave bagasse C:N ratio to 25:1. The bagasse was supplied by two tequila factories ("La Codradía" and "La Regional") where the principal difference was the fermentable sugars extraction system. Four piles were formed, two for each bagasse source. Temperature profiles were monitored to assess the progress of the composting process. Average readings were recorded for each day. The parent agave bagasse and composts were analyzed for pH, conductivity, field density, ash content, organic matter, organic total carbon (COT), total nitrogen Kjeldahl (NTK), hemicellulose and cellulose content. After 126 days of composting, the real dry matter lost, and the organic matter and volume theoretically lost were 62.2, 73.6 and 76.9 %, respectively, for compost with "La Codradía" bagasse, whereas for compost with "La Regional" bagasse the respective losses were 65.8, 71.5 and 76.9 %. The composts were also analyzed for particle size, easily available water (EAW), water buffer capacity (WFC), difficultly available water (DAW) and air capacity (AC). Machine refined composts featured some hydrological characteristics similar to those of peat moss. The field study, using the agave bagasse composts as substrates for tomato production, did not reveal statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) when compared to the commercial substrates normally employed to improve nutrient takeup (coconut bagasse and cocopeat) in the first four cuts after 55 days of seedling transplant.

          Ammonia emissions from the composting of different organic wastes. Dependency on process temperature.

          Ammonia emissions were quantified for the laboratory-scale composting of three typical organic wastes with medium nitrogen content: organic fraction of municipal solid wastes, raw sludge and anaerobically digested sludge; and the composting of two wastes with high nitrogen content: animal by-products from slaughterhouses and partially hydrolysed hair from the leather industry. All the wastes were mixed with the proper amount of bulking agent. Ammonia emitted in the composting of the five wastes investigated revealed a strong dependence on temperature, with a distinct pattern found in ammonia emissions for each waste in the thermophilic first stage of composting (exponential increase of ammonia emitted when increasing temperature) than that of the mesophilic final stage (linear increase of ammonia emissions when increasing temperature). As composting needs high temperatures to ensure the sanitisation of compost and ammonia emissions are one of the main environmental impacts associated to composting and responsible for obtaining compost with a low agronomical quality, it is proposed that sanitisation is conducted after the first stage in large-scale composting facilities by a proper temperature control.

            A review of composting as a management alternative for beef cattle feedlot manure in southern Alberta, Canada.

            Composting is gaining increased acceptance as a management alternative for the large volumes of manure produced by southern Alberta's beef cattle feedlots. Research on windrow composting of feedlot manure was initiated at the Lethbridge Research Centre of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in 1996. Early studies looked at physical and chemical changes during composting. Studies have also been conducted on greenhouse gas emissions during composting and the effect of composting on reduction of pathogens, parasites and weed seed viability. The quality of commercially-produced composts at southern Alberta feedlots has been examined as has the mineralization rates of soil-applied composts. This paper reviews results from our feedlot manure composting research program.
