Investigation into physico-chemical properties of compost extract as affected by processing parameters

In a view to convert the abundant chicken manure generated which constitute environmental hazard into a more useful form, investigation was carried out on efficient extraction of nutrients from composted chicken manure into compost extract which will serve as an alternative to inorganic fertilizer....
