Co-compost of steel slag and chicken manure improved product properties and stabilized cadmium activity in soil-rice systems

Key Points

• Improved product properties were observed, indicating that the co-compost enhances soil quality.
• Cadmium stabilization was noted, reducing its activity in the soil and benefiting rice growth.
• Analysis utilized co-composting methods to explore interactions between steel slag and chicken manure.
• This approach may enable sustainable soil management practices, especially where metal contamination is a concern.
