contents Utilization of by-products from the tequila industry. Part 6: Fertilizationof potted geranium with a slaughterhouse waste compost Gilberto Íñiguez David M. Crohn Ciencias de la Tierra geranium fertilizer potting media animal solid waste compost slaughterhouse waste compost A greenhouse pot study was conducted to evaluate the use of a slaughterhouse waste compost(SWC) as fertilizer for potted geranium plants. This SWC was mixed with agave bagasse compost(ABC) at rates of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% by volume. Theeffects of the SWC on the germination and initial growth of Raphanus sativus were also examined.Samples of SWC and ABC were used to prepare 6 different mixtures: (1), 50% sand, 25% barkand 25% peat, (2), 50% sand and 50% peat, (3), 50% sand, 25% bark and 25% SWC, (4), 50% sandand 50% SWC (5), 50% sand, 25% bark and 25% ABC and (6), 50% sand and 50% ABC. Samplesof these mixtures and SWC and ABC, were analyzed for bulk density, easily available water(EAW) and water buffering capacity (WBC). Potted geranium plants grew well in mixtures ofSWC and ABC with no additional fertilization. High volumes of SWC (70 to 100%) had no adverseeffect on root growth, on subsequent plant growth and development, or on the flowering process.SWC had no detrimental effect on Raphanus sativus seeds germination (p ≤ 0.05). Conditioningsoils with SWC and ABC increased soil bulk density (p ≤ 0.05). Easily available water andwater buffering capacity results suggest that SWC and ABC can substitute peat. 2004 artículo científico 0188-4999 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37000201 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=370 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental (México) Num.2 Vol.20
