Sustainable Technologies for the Management of Agricultural Wastes
This book provides relevant and up-to-date technologies on the utilization of various types of agricultural waste, as a direct means of properly managing its abundance. The potential of using waste materials obtained from the palm oil industry, used cooking oil, maize plantations, citrus-based plants and the tea-planting sector for the production of useful and high-value materials such as pyroligneous acid and bio-oil (Chaps. 1 and 2), biochar (Chap. 3), ferulic acid (Chap. 4) and biocontrol agents (Chaps. 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) has been discussed. In some of the chapters, proper case studies are also included to further enhance the understanding of the readers on the subject matter highlighted. It is worth noting that even though majority of the chapters included in this book revolve around laboratory-based investigations, they have been carefully deliberated by the authors to justify their commercial feasibility which is a very important component in any research and development (R&D) ventures. This comprehensive volume is most useful to anyone involved in agricultural waste management, green chemistry and agricultural biotechnology. It is also recommended as a reference work for all agriculture and biotechnology libraries.
