توجه داشته باشید کتاب ورمی کمپوست برای سیستم های غذایی پایدار در آفریقا نسخه زبان اصلی می باشد و کتاب ترجمه شده به فارسی نمی باشد. وبسایت اینترنشنال لایبرری ارائه دهنده کتاب های زبان اصلی می باشد و هیچ گونه کتاب ترجمه شده یا نوشته شده به فارسی را ارائه نمی دهد.
این کتاب ویرایش شده، تحقیقاتی را که عمدتاً در آفریقا در زمینه ورمی کمپوست و فنآوریهای مرتبط انجام شده است، گردآوری میکند که میتواند به کشاورزان خردهمالک آفریقایی در ساخت کودهای آلی غنی از مواد مغذی از ضایعات بقایای حیوانات و محصولات کشاورزی کمک کند. اطلاعات مربوط به توسعه منابع آلی توسعه کود مایع برای هیدروپونیک نیز ارائه شده است. این کتاب یافتههای تحقیقاتی در مورد ورمی کمپوست را به روشی ساده ارائه میکند که به کشاورزان و کارگران ترویجی اجازه میدهد فناوریهای ذکر شده را اتخاذ کنند. این کتاب همچنین جنبههای مهم استانداردسازی آمادهسازی ورمی کمپوست، زیستشناسی کرم خاکی، غنیسازی مواد مغذی کمپوستها و تولید کود مایع آلی را پوشش میدهد. ورمی کمپوست فناوری است که از کرم های خاکی برای افزایش تجزیه زیستی و ارزش کود زباله های آلی استفاده می کند. کرمهای خاکی اکوسیستم تجزیه زیستی را در طول کمپوست بهینه میکنند و در نتیجه محصول نهایی غنی از مواد مغذی با اشکال مقاومتر کربن و سطوح بسیار پایینتری از آنتیبیوتیکهای دامپزشکی و متابولیتهای آنها ایجاد میشود. ورمی کمپوست به عنوان یک کود آلی نسبت به سایر اشکال تقویت کننده خاک بسیار ارجحیت دارد. تحقیقات زیادی در مورد ورمی کمپوست و فعالیت های مرتبط در آفریقا انجام شده است، اما همچنان در نشریات مختلف پراکنده است. این کتاب منبع ارزشمندی از اطلاعات برای کشاورزان به ویژه کسانی است که تولید محصولات ارگانیک، محققان ورمی کمپوست و همچنین کارگران ترویجی را انجام می دهند.
This edited book collates the research done mainly in Africa on vermicomposting and related technologies that can assist African smallholder farmers in making nutrient rich organic fertilizers from their animal and crop residue wastes. Information on the development of organic sources of liquid fertilizer development for hydroponics is also presented. The book presents research findings on vermicomposting in a simplified way that will allow farmers and extension workers to adopt the indicated technologies. The book also covers critical aspects of standardization of vermicompost preparation, earthworm biology, nutrient enrichment of composts and organic liquid fertilizer production. Vermicomposting is a technology that employs earthworms to enhance the biodegradation and fertilizer value of organic wastes. The earthworms optimize the biodegradation ecosystem during composting, resulting in a final nutrient rich product with more recalcitrant forms of carbon and much lower levels of veterinary antibiotics and their metabolites. Vermicompost as an organic fertilizer is highly preferred over other forms of soil enhancers. A lot of research has been done on vermicompost and related activities in Africa but remain scattered across various publications. The book is an invaluable source of information for farmers especially those practicing organic crop production, vermicomposting researchers, as well as extension workers.
