Abstract:
Agricultural activities generate a large amount of crop residues that can create environmental problems, like occupying vast areas and often being a source of pathogenic microorganisms. However, this plant waste can be a potential source of organic carbon and other major macronutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (NPK), essential for plant growth. Given this background and the fact that Hofigal is a major producer of dietary supplements and medicinal plants and produces an important amount of plant waste from plant processing, its researchers aimed to study the influence of soil fertilization with plant waste on phytochemical composition and growth of some medicinal plants.
