• Resumen

  • A long-term field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of the addition of municipal solid waste (MSW) compost applied at two different rates on a barley crop. In all treatments, values obtained for plants' overall weights show increases in comparison to the control. especially with the higher rate of compost. The contents of macronutrients in plants were similar in all the treatments. Only N showed an increase in both grain and straw with the higher rate of compost during the years of consecutive applications. No heavy metal contamination was observed in plants, but in the compost treatments the contents of Zn increased while Mn decreased.
