Horse manure is traditionally considered one of the most valuable types of organic fertilizer in practical plant growing. Due to its structure and capacity for intense biological heating, this material is indispensable for maintaining the necessary temperature regime in protected ground. Using horse manure as biofuel allows for the creation of an optimal microclimate for the early development of vegetable crops and ensures stable thermoregulation in hotbeds during the spring period.
The presented selection of articles examines in detail the key aspects of applying organic matter in agricultural technologies. Readers will find here practical recommendations on preparing biofuel for hotbeds, as well as detailed instructions on creating nutrient substrates for growing button mushrooms by themselves. Special attention is paid to the technological processes of preparation and pasteurization of compost, which are necessary for the successful cultivation of mushrooms. These materials will help agronomists and home gardeners to effectively integrate horse manure into their farming system, optimizing the processes of obtaining early produce and increasing the yield of mushroom crops.
