Soil aggregate formation and aggregate stability have an important
role in crop production and sustainable agricultural management.
Formation and maintenance of stable aggregates is the essential
feature of the soil tilth. Aggregates formation in the soil takes
very long time and influenced by several factors such as soil
organic matter, binding agents, soil fauna, environmental
variables, microorganisms and roots. This book focuses on a novel
idea of synthetic aggregates formation within very short time from
different types of waste materials and their different utilization
in agriculture. These kinds of unconventional synthetic aggregate
production have not much been reported in the literature. Several
kind of synthetic aggregates were produced from different waste
materials such as sewage sludge, paper waste, oil palm waste,
sugarcane trash, starch waste, coal fly ash, wood chips, coir dust,
cattle manure compost and chicken manure compost. Developed
aggregates were utilized in agriculture as a soil amendment,
fertilizer support, and potting media for containerized plant
cultivation. These synthetic aggregates proved that they can be
utilized in agriculture very effectively.
