ORGANIC WASTE ASSESSMENT FOR LAND FERTILITY IMPROVEMENT USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
Soil fertility can be improved by applying organic wastes taking into account their chemical composition, sanitary and bacteriological characteristics, and environmental impact.
A decision support information technology «Recultivant» was developed to evaluate organic wastes and their suitability for improving soil quality. It was created in the Visual Studio integrated development environment using the Python programming language.
Based on the results of assessment of sewage sludge from the city of Barnaul and litter of caged chickens received from JSC «Molodezhnaya Poultry Farm», the ITPPD «Recultivant» formulated a recommendation on their use as organic fertilizer and recultivant of degraded and unproductive soils without additional preparation.
