Abstract:In order to explore the effect of the application method of compost products of food waste on the soil, a eld experiment was carried out outer ring forest belt of Minhang in Shanghai, to investigate the effects of compost products of food waste being applied with two methods of furrowing and broadcasting on the soil bulk density, pH, EC, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium and total salt, and evaluate the effects of different application methods on soil fertility quality, with no compost products of food waste as control. The results showed that soil pH decreased, and EC, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium increased in different soil layers after applying food aerobic composting products for one month compared with CK. The content of soil EC, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium of broadcasting treatments signi cantly increased in the soil layer of 0~5 cm. The furrowing treatment signi cantly increased the soil EC, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium in layers of 5~30 cm and 30~60 cm. The soil-fertility-quality evaluation results showed that the soil quality of different application methods improved after applying food waste compost products for one month, and the soil quality improvement of furrowing treatment to 30~60 cm was better than that of broadcasting treatment. The study provides a basis for the rational utilization of food waste compost products to improve green forest soil
