Composting agricultural waste with additives like magnesium oxide and calcium oxide can help suppress harmful soil pathogens. The study looked at how temperature changes and additives affected the composting process. They found that temperature fluctuations had a bigger impact on the types of bacteria and fungi present in the compost than the additives did. Samples from different stages of composting showed stable suppression of certain pathogens, especially when certain bacteria types were present. This suggests that the duration of composting is important for creating effective pathogen-fighting products for soil.
