Many soils in the Northeast region are of very low fertility because of many factors. The management of organic matter to upgrade organic matter level in soil is essential for soil improvement to benefit plant growth. Compost production from waste materials from agriculture and industry in the Northeast region has high potential because waste materials are plentiful. To turn the waste materials into compost is the most efficient method. Compost utilization has some influence on the biological properties in soil by controling some soil pathogens and by reducing the amount of corn and soybean disease damage.
