PROPOSAL USE OF WASTE GENERATED IN THE PRODUCTION OF CBFERT

Abstract

The fertilizers use has been a subject widely debated for the effects that they cause. However during this production they also cause environment damage. CBFERT is a liquid fertilizer enriched with cyanobacteria produced on pilot scale, with different economic and environmental advantages, it reduces the use of chemical products in agriculture, through the incorporation of a nationally produced cyanobacterium, in addition to increasing the use of soil nutrients. In production process, solid and liquid residuals are generated that can be reused in order to achieve zero spillage. It is proposed to evaluate the possibility of reusing wastewater resulting from cleaning, rich in N-P-K in CBFERT formulation itself and assess the use of solid waste as a soil improver or with mixtures of other fertilizer products. Characterization results of solid and liquid waste generated during the production of CBFERT are reported.
