Because of the insufficiency of traditional organic fertilizers during the last years it is necessary to search for new sources of organic matter. One of the most accessible and really realizable forms of the domestic wastes use is their transformation into compost, a process, known as home - family composting. The aim of this work was: to make a comparatively study of the effect of composts, produced by home composting and other organic manures on the maize growth and weeds appearance. The vegetation experiment was carried out in vessels from 2 kg, with soil – Luvic phaeozem/FAO, culture – maize and different organic fertilizers: cattle, poultry and sheep manure and composts, made with suitable agrochemical indices from different organic domestic wastes. Phenological observations and measuring were periodically made. The study shows, that using of home made composts is equivalent to that of manures, regarding to their effect on the vegetative behaviour of maize. Using of composts leads to decrease of weeds, because of the thermophilic - sanitation phase during the composting process.
