摘要：Waste is an unavoidable secondary product of human activities. Economic development, urbanization andimproving living standards in cities, have led to an increase in the quantity and complexity of generatedwaste. The generated solid waste from Coimbatore city was sorted in to organic waste and various types ofaerobic compost such as Rapid compost, Windrow compost, Pit method of compost and Vermicompostwere prepared by adding raw materials of different composition. Their physical and chemical characteristics,macro and micronutrient content were evaluated in the field and laboratory. This paper highlights thecomparative study between the various types of aerobic composts prepared. pH, electrical conductivity,temperature, total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and C/N ratio were estimated,and their impact on soil is elaborately discussed in the paper.
