Ecological Bases of Use of Organic Waste As Fertilizers

Abstract

Based on the conducted studies, it is established that in Azerbaijan there is a large amount of unused organic waste that accumulate polluting the environment. These wastes can be processed and used as organic fertilizers. The waste contains a large amount of organic matter and mineral nutrients that improve the fertility of soils and the yield of agricultural plants (Artyushin et al., 1984). Works on chemicalization and land reclamation are carried out on an unprecedented scale. At the same time, environmental protection and the rational use of natural resources are becoming increasingly important for the environment. The food program developed in accordance with the decision to develop the country's agriculture provides for the full and rational use of all the resources of organic fertilizers available in our republic with a total volume of their production in 2017 of about 30 million tons. Preserving a deficit-free balance of humus in the soil, increasing its fertility and increasing the yield and quality of agricultural plants with the intensification of agriculture will require the expansion of production and the use of not only all types of animal husbandry and poultry farming and peat, but also the mobilization of other sources of organic matter. Among them, an important place should be given to household, agricultural and industrial waste, waste from the biochemical and woodworking industries, etc.The full and efficient use of all resources of organic fertilizers simultaneously solves a number of economic tasks: obtaining maximum yields while maintaining and increasing soil fertility, protecting the environment from pollution by waste and waste from industry, public utilities, animal husbandry and crop production (Zamanov et al., 1990).
