Time necessary for eradication various types pathogens during composting were evaluated via literature review. Varying time-temperature have been suggested by compost standards organizations Europe treat compost. Literature data phytopathogens compared with time-temperatures specified Canadian Council Ministers Environment (CCME) US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Most bacterial nematodes, fungi fungu...
