This study investigates the effectiveness of organic compost as a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers for improving soil health and enhancing crop productivity under greenhouse conditions. The experiment focused on sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), an aromatic herb highly sensitive fertility structure, cultivated in sandy loam soil—a prevalent substrate arid semi-arid regions, often limited by poor water nutrient retention. Using randomized complete block design with six application rates, this evaluated physicochemical, biochemical, agronomic responses both plants. results demonstrated significant improvements across all parameters (p < 0.05), 30 t/ha treatment yielding most notable enhancements content, plant performance while maintaining acceptable levels heavy metals. Soil matter (SOM) increased 13.71%, shoot length (SL), essential oil content (EOC), 100-seed weight improved 42 cm, 0.83%, 0.32 g, respectively, compared control. These finding underscore benefits high rates boosting horticultural promoting agriculture. Moreover, supports reduction fertilizer dependency encourages adoption circular economy principles (CEPs) through waste recycling.

In Morocco, saline irrigation significantly affects soil quality and reduces crop yields. This study evaluates the effect of salt stress on properties overall performance durum wheat variety “Faraj”, aiming to optimize production under conditions. A greenhouse experiment was conducted during 2023–2024 season, using a completely randomized design (CRD) assess properties, plant growth, yield. Five salinity levels (0.2, 4, 8, 12, 16 dS m−1) were applied two types: silty-clay (S1) sandy (S2). Results showed significant changes in including increased pH, electrical conductivity, accumulation potassium, calcium, magnesium soil. Grain yield decreased with increasing salinity, from 1.12 t ha−1 freshwater 0.12 at m−1 S1, 0.56 S2. Straw less affected, values 1.24 1.16 for S1 S2 12 m−1, decreasing 0.80 0.55 m−1. The “Faraj” shows good tolerance up 8 grain straw yield, making it particularly suitable moderately environments.

Agricultural activities generate substantial quantities of waste, which are often relegated to landfills or incineration. However, these residues can be effectively valorized through composting, transforms them into valuable organic fertilizers (OF). Composting agricultural waste (AW) mitigates environmental impacts and offers significant benefits in enhancing soil fertility productivity. This practice is particularly beneficial regions with low degraded land, where compost improve health review provides a comprehensive analysis the literature on valorization AW focusing its environmental, agricultural, economic health, especially Morocco’s ecosystems. It synthesizes findings from studies published over past two decades offer critical insights recommendations for optimizing composting practices. By systematically evaluating, this highlights as pivotal strategy reducing impact, promoting sustainable management. Future research essential explore opportunities process, including content enhancement processing duration. In summary, process seen an effective solution that fits within principles circular economy (CE) requires careful evaluation ongoing monitoring.

Abstract Sediments in agricultural ecosystems serve as critical indicators of environmental pollution, particularly regions subjected to intensive practices. This research evaluates the hazards and implications heavy metal (HM) contamination river sediments from Sidi Allal Tazi area within Morocco’s Sebou basin. Twenty sediment samples were extracted strategically designated locations, levels analyzed using a multi-index integration approach, multi-statistical analyses (MSA), Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The results revealed considerable spatial variability HM concentrations, with Cd As displaying highest levels. Statistical analysis, incorporating Principal Component Analysis (PCA), identified anthropogenic activities primary contributors contamination. Hierarchical Cluster (HCA) categorized metals based on common pollution pathways, while GIS mapping distribution across vulnerable areas. Pollution like Geo-accumulation Index (Igeo) well Load (PLI). that 75% sites under “very high pollution”, emphasizing severity Contamination Factor (CF) classified 90% 100% contamination”. Risk indices indicated significant ecological threats, contributing an RI exceeding 600 many areas, signifying risk”. These findings highlight urgent need for targeted mitigation strategies sustainable methodologies provides comprehensive framework assessing managing contamination, offering insights policymakers managers.
