Compost Organic Amendments in Fodder Crops: Effects on Yield, Nitrogen Utilization and Soil Characteristics
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of municipal solid waste compost (MSW), Olive Pomace Compost (OPC), mineral fertilizer (Min), and an unfertilized treatment (Contr) were compared on crop yield, soil characteristics and environment impact.

MSW Compost Application on Tomato Crops in Mediterranean Conditions: Effects on Agronomic Performance and Nitrogen Utilization
TL;DR: A two-year field experiment (2001 and 2003) was carried out in a Mediterranean environment to study the effects of municipal solid waste (MSW) compost application compared with mineral nitrogen (N) fertilization on the agronomic performance and N utilization of a tomato crop, in rotation with durum wheat.

Nitrogen application in winter wheat grown in mediterranean conditions: effects on nitrogen uptake, utilization efficiency and soil nitrogen deficit
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted for three years to better understand wheat plant response to optimize N fertilizer and how to reduce the risk of ground water pollution, which is one of the most growth restricting nutrients in cereal grain.

Alternative sugar beet production using shallow tillage and municipal solid waste fertiliser
TL;DR: The effects of reduced soil tillage and municipal solid waste compost application on growth parameters, production and quality of sugar beet crops, and on both soil chemical characteristics and mineral nitrogen deficit were determined, highlighting that in Southern Italy it is sustainable to adopt alternative sugar beet production.
