COMPOST PRODUCTION FROM HAZELNUT HUSK

This study was carried out in invastigate the possibilites of compost production from husks either alone or with addition of 1 to,2 to and 4 % vrea (46 % N) or manure to use as an orgnic fertilizer Mixtures level at 65% and miksed and graded 70–80 %degraded compost was obtained after 15–18 months.

Nutrient levels of compost were usually higher than manure. Addition of urea balanced C/N ratio in a shorter time but decreased the pH.
