Effect of Repeated Plant Debris Reutilization as Organic Amendment on Greenhouse Soil Fertility
Greenhouse agriculture typically generates large amounts of waste with plant residue (agricultural biomass) being the most abundant. This residue is generated on a seasonal basis, which complicates the external management of the material. Recently, the European Union (EU) has been implementing a pol...
