Chicken manure is one of the most concentrated organic substrates used in modern agricultural production. Its value for agronomists and farm owners lies in its high content of nutrients necessary for forming high-quality greenhouse substrates and maintaining soil fertility. Proper handling of this material allows for not only the organization of an efficient feeding system for flower crops but also the creation of optimal conditions for specialized mushroom cultivation, particularly for the industrial production of champignons.
In this collection, we have combined materials covering the comprehensive use of poultry farming by-products. Readers will find detailed guides on the preparation and pasteurization of manure-based compost, as well as learn about agrochemical methods of substrate analysis that ensure a balance of plant nutrition. Furthermore, the articles examine the technological aspects of processing poultry farming products and issues of integrating organic compositions into agrotechnical cycles for vegetable crop cultivation. The provided information will help optimize the handling of organics, increase yield, and effectively build technological processes in greenhouse conditions or on a private farm.
