composting
Composting is the controlled decomposition of organic materials—such as plant waste, food scraps, and manure—into a nutrient-rich amendment that improves soil fertility and structure. For plant science, compost is significant because it enhances soil microbial communities, increases nutrient availability, and supports healthier root development, making it a key tool in sustainable agriculture and horticultural research.
