Abstract
Beet vinasse (desugared, beet molasses) was co-composted with each of three following solid agricultural residues: grape marc, olive press c ake and the cotton gin trash. The composts were sued to fertilize corn . a treatment of mineral fertilizer was used for comparison. Compost h ad no detrimental effects on the growth parameters and nutritional sta tus of corn. Compost treatments produced yields (weight of grain) that were higher than those obtained for mineral fertilizers.
