After the industrial revolution and the subsequent overuse of natural resources, the large quantities of livestock, agricultural and agro-industrial waste generated, the growth of cities, the livestock and intensive farming system where the soil cannot absorb all of this waste generated, the decreasing soil organic matter content and the increasing of the erosion in the soils, have brought a new global trend which concerns a suitable organic waste management.
This study is based on the analysis of organic waste generated and not used in this region, with the aim of generating a compost with adequate physical –chemicals parameters, so that, organic matter could be transformed into a fertilizer of a higher agricultural value, improving the yield of avocado crops on the Tropical Coast.
The aim of this work is to study the feasibility of co-composting guacamole production waste, garden pruning residues as bulking agent, goat manure as nitrogen source and the vinasse of the sugarcane industry. The response of variables as pH, electrical conductivity, moisture, organic matter, the carbon-nitrogen ratio, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, manganese and zinc, were estimated by other studies assuming a compost trial with a volume ratio pruning residues: guacamole waste: manure ratio 3:2:1.
The results obtained showed that this compost could reach the appropriate parameters of a mature compost.
The actual management of organic waste and the assessment of the agricultural waste by composting, are an economic practices where waste are transformed into an environmental friendly products which also show a high fertilizer economic value in a country as Spain, where this activity is highly influential.
