Stabilization of different starting materials through vermicomposting in a continuous-feeding system: Changes in chemical and biological parameters.
TL;DR: The phytotoxicity test indicated that the end products of the processed AP and DG were chemically stable and enriched with nutrients in comparison with the HM and GP vermicompost, indicating to stabilization (maturation) in the end product, which is important for its safe disposal as an organic nutrient-rich product.
