Study of composting of cotton residues

A study on the composting of residues of cotton gin previously crushed or u ncrushed is presented in this work. A multifactor analysis of correlation f or each one of the treatments revealed that the final results obtained duri ng the composting process of cotton residuals were very different according to whether the residues were crushed or uncrushed.
