Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the long-term effects of municipal solid waste (MSW) compost on soil health and plant growth over five years with various application frequencies (annual, biennial, and control).
- Compost significantly improved soil nutrients, water-holding capacity, and microbial communities, with nitrogen release in annual application soils being much higher compared to biennial and control soils.
- Crop yields were notably higher in soils with annual MSW compost application, showing increases of 6-20% over biennial and up to 717% over control, highlighting the potential of compost to enhance soil health and productivity in the medium to long term.
