62. NAL Call No.: TD930.A32 Effects of compost stability on plant growth, microbiological parameters and nitrogen availability in media containing mixed garden-waste compost. Keeling, A. A.; Griffths, B. S.; Ritz, K.; Myers, M. Bioresour-technol. v.54(3): p.279-284. (1995) Includes references. Descriptors: refuse; composts; agricultural wastes; litter plant; lolium perenne; growth; nitrogen metabolism; nitrogen; nutrient availability; microbiology; age; stability; compost age Abstract: Garden waste was composted over a number of weeks in a windrow, and fumed regularly to maintain aerobic conditions. The physical parameters of the composting material were measured, and at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks of processing samples were removed and incorporated into growth media. Ryegrass was grown over 1 year and harvested regularly for measurement of dry matter and N content. In addition, compost samples were removed and the microfauna and total microbial biomass quantified. It was shown that the younger composts (1 and 2 week processing) gave higher dry matter and N yields. The young compost (1 week) contained significantly higher protozoan (especially ciliate) biomass than the older (4 week) compost, over the entire experimental period.

A.; Forney, L. J. Appl-environ- microbiol. v.61(7): p.2566-2571. (1995 July) Includes references. Descriptors: 2,4-d; herbicide residues; microbial degradation; mineralization; composting; thatch; lawns and turf; plant residues; leaves; grasses; thermophilic microorganisms; humification; grass clippings Abstract: The fate of the widely used lawn care herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) during the composting of yard trimmings consisting of primarily leaves and grass is an important unexplored question. In this study, we determined the extent of 2,4-D mineralization, incorporation into humic matter, volatilization, and sorption during the composting of yard trimmings. Yard trimmings (2:1 [wt/wt] leaves-grass) were amended with 14C-ring-labeled 2,4-D (17 mg/kg of dry weight) and composted in a temperature-controlled laboratory scale compost system. During composting, thermophilic microbes were numerically dominant, reaching a maximum of 2 X 10(11)/g. At the end of composting, 46% of the organic matter (OM) present in the yard trimmings was lost and the compost was stable, with an oxygen uptake rate of 0.09 mg of O2 per g of OM per h, and was well humified (humification index, 0.39). Mineralization of the OM temporally paralleled mineralization of 2,4-D. In the final compost, 47% of the added 2,4-D carbon was mineralized, about 23% was complexed with high-molecular-weight humic acids, and about 20% was not extractable (humin fraction). Less than 1% of the added 14C was present in water expressed from the finished compost, suggesting a low potential for leaching of 2,4-D. Very little volatilization of 2,4-D occurred during composting. It is of interest that our results indicate active mineralization of 2,4-D at composting temperatures of 60 degrees C because microbial 2,4-D degradation at thermophilic temperatures has not been previously documented.

(1994 June) Includes references. Descriptors: legionella; legionella pneumophila; composts; refuse compost; leaves; grass clippings; south australia; home composts Abstract: Legionellae were found in many samples of composted plant matter obtained from home gardeners and from facilities which undertook bulk composting. The predominant species isolated from these composts was Legionella pneumophila, the strains of which belonged to serogroups other than serogroup 1. Other Legionella species were present in many samples. Legionella longbeachae serogroup 1, which is implicated in human infections in South Australia, was present in samples obtained from two of six facilities composting large volumes of material and from 3 of 30 gardeners. Many of the species or strains isolated from composts have not been implicated as causative agents of legionellosis in South Australia, but some cause infection in healthy and immunosuppressed persons.

About the Quick Bibliography Series

Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the National Agricultural Library (NAL), are intended primarily for current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are not indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject. However, the citations are a substantial resource for recent investigations on a given topic. They also serve the purpose of bringing the literature of agriculture to the interested user who, in many cases, could not access it by any other means. The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-line searches of NAL's AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic and evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria. The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding these is available upon request from the author/searcher.

Copies of the bibliography may be made or used for distribution without prior approval. The inclusion or omission of a particular publication or citation may not be construed as endorsement or disapproval.
