Summary in the original language of the document

In Tunisia, date palm cultivation generates huge quantities of waste that can be recycled by composting. Composting is a simple, ecological and inexpensive way of recovering and transforming this waste into an organic amendment in organic oases. Renewable biomass waste reincorporates organic matter into the soil and improves soil fertility, promoting plant growth and increasing crop productivity. In the present study, we investigate the performance of compost on the growth and yield of organic barley in a Tunisian oasis.
