Description
Summary:A method for the biological processing of olive mills liquid wastes (OMWW) for the preparation of a product suitable for agricultural use is described. This method exploits OMWW as a substrate for the cultivation of dinitrogen-fixing microorganisms ( Azotobacter vinelandii) capable of transforming the material into an organic liquid of high fertilizing and soil conditioning value. The results which have been obtained from the application of this bio-fertilizer for the culture of olive trees, vines and potatoes was very promising.
