Evaluation of compost applying the technique (high and low relief), using solid organic waste, Thia Huayrapata Community Irupana Municipality

Abstract

The research was conducted in the Department of La Paz, Sud Yungas Province, Irupana Municipality, Thia Huayrapata Community. The overall objective was to evaluate the effect of two organic waste treatments for compost production. Specific objectives included characterizing the compost using the high and low relief technique, studying microorganisms, and determining production costs. Inputs included organic waste, chicken manure, forest soil, and leaf litter (in different proportions). Activators included worm humus tea and whey. During the process (64 days) 6 turnings were performed (mesophilic phase, thermophilic, cooling and maturation), the recorded temperature was 44 ° C (High Relief) and 35 ° C (Low Relief), the variables in the laboratory were (Porosity 48%, potassium 7817.40 ppm, total nitrogen 1.60%, organic matter 38%, organic carbon 21% and total phosphorus 6180 ppm) and Low Relief (Porosity 48%, potassium 6595.30 ppm, total nitrogen 1.45%, organic matter 36.4%, organic carbon 20% and total phosphorus 5740 ppm), production 106 Kg (High Relief) and 105 Kg (Low Relief), the analysis of microorganisms of viable aerobic mesophytic bacteria, reached a value of 2.9E + 07 (low relief) and 1.8E+07 (high relief) and in relation to the fungi and yeast count a value of 1E+05 (low relief and 1.2E+05 (high relief) was recorded respectively, finally a B/C of 0.57 Bs was reached (High relief) and in Low relief 0.47 Bs per 1 Bs invested.
