Use of compost and digestate in Italy: quality requirments, labelling and use in southern European soils

The Europe has reached excellent levels of compost production. The total amount of compost quality in EU is estimated about 12 mln tons di compost in 27 European countries. Does ‘n exist an European legislation on quality criteria for compost. Every countries sets rules for compost production and use. Is necessary to establish laws or regulations to harmonized the quality levels of compost.

In southern Europe is very important to find new sources of organic matter to improve the C levels in the soils. The agricultural techniques and the low availability of manure caused a strongly decrease of organic matter in soil mainly in southern Europe. Scope of the paper is to analyse the agronomic characteristics of the different qualities of compost produced and the way they fulfil the quality requirements needed by the potential end users (e.g. farmers, landscapers, plant breeders, vine-growers, etc.). This paper shows the Italian agronomical trials of compost use. The main result is that the compost may satisfy the needs of the farmers and nurseryman. Finally the document provides suggestions on what has to be done to regulate, promote and develop the compost market: labels, quality limit values according to specific features in the different end-use sectors.
