Le compostage
compostage est le processus naturel de « pourriture » ou de décomposition de la matière organique par des micro-organismes dans des conditions contrôlées. Les matières organiques brutes telles que les résidus de cultures, les déchets animaux, les déchets alimentaires, certains déchets municipaux et les déchets industriels appropriés améliorent leur aptitude à être appliqués au sol en tant que ressource fertilisante, après avoir été transformées en compost.
Lecompost est une source riche en matière organique. La matière organique du sol joue un rôle important dans le maintien de la fertilité du sol, et donc dans la production agricole durable. En plus d'être une source de nutriments pour les plantes, il améliore les propriétés physico-chimiques et biologiques du sol. Grâce à ces améliorations, le sol : (i) devient plus résistant aux stress tels que la sécheresse, les maladies et la toxicité ; (ii) aide la culture à mieux absorber les nutriments ; et (iii) possède une capacité de cycle actif des nutriments en raison de la vigoureuse activité microbienne. Ces avantages se traduisent par une réduction des risques liés à la culture, par des rendements plus élevés et des dépenses moins élevées en engrais inorganiques pour les agriculteurs.
