Phosphate solubilizing and combined with rock phosphates promoting tomato growth and reducing bacterial canker disease.

Nowadays, sustainable agriculture approaches are based on the use of biofertilizers and biopesticides. Tomato ( L.) rhizosphere could provide rhizobacteria with biofertilizing and biopesticide properties.

Optimization of tomato waste composting with integration of organic feedstock.

Valorization of waste by composting converts organic waste into valuable organic supplements. Physicochemical characteristics of tomato waste (TW) limit the efficiency of the composting process. To overcome these challenges, different mixtures were investigated by integration of olive pumice (OP), sheep manure (SM), chicken manure (CM), and sawdust as bulking agents for the optimization of the composting process.

Elucidation of functional chemical groups responsible of compost phytotoxicity using solid-state C NMR spectroscopy under different initial C/N ratios.

More than 1 million tons of fresh organic wastes is produced in the Souss-Massa region in Morocco. Tomato organic residues represent more than 25% of the total organic wastes and are deposited in uncontrolled landfills. Thus, composting can represent a valuable and pertinent solution to this environmental problem.
