Implication

This analysis compares nutrient quality and production costs in sewage sludge composting and vermicomposting, suggesting significant implications for waste management.

Key Points

Vermicomposting yielded higher macro- and micronutrient levels, enhancing economic value compared to composting.
All amendments demonstrated acceptable maturity levels and safety for agricultural use concerning heavy metals and pathogens.
The production cost of composts was lower than that of vermicomposts, influencing treatment method selection.
Effective management of sewage sludge through composting or vermicomposting can mitigate environmental impacts while providing valuable soil amendments.
