Abstract

Composting of food waste might be effective way for food waste disposal which could be applied to improve soil properties in agricultural field. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of food waste on two crops (Chinese cabbage, Tomato) compared to livestock manure. Seven different treatments (one livestock manure, two food wastes, one livestock manure + chemical fertilizer, two food waste + chemical fertilizer, and control) were applied to two crops . Treatment of livestock + chemical fertilizer and microorganism treated food waste +chemical fertilizer showed statistically significant differences on leaf width and root length of Chinese cabbage compared to other treatments. They showed highest values for these parameters. Value of four parameters (shoot length, total length, fresh weight and chlorophyll content) were highest with treatment of livestock + chemical fertilizer and microorganism treated food waste + chemical fertilizer for tomato growth.
