Dataset: Co-composting to close the cycle of resources during rose cultivation in Kenya: An agronomic and pesticide residue assessment

This dataset and these scripts supports the article 'Co-composting to close the cycle of resources during rose cultivation in Kenya: An agronomic and pesticide residue assessment' as published in Cleaner Waste Systems. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clwas.2024.100154 Roses are an important crop for the floricultural sector of Kenya and roses are a perennial crop and under continuous production for six to ten years. The cultivation produces large quantities of green waste, up to 50 kg per hectare per day. In this experiment we focused on exploring the potential of large-scale composting of rose waste in Kenyan rose cultivation. The objective of this study was to examine the potential of composting rose waste in this large-scale commercial setting with low operational costs, exploring its benefits and challenges. In piles of 4000 kg green waste the evolution of three mixtures was closely monitored in terms of their physico-chemical parameters. Furthermore, the pesticide residue levels of mature rose waste were assessed.本数据集与配套脚本可支撑发表于《清洁废物系统》（Cleaner Waste Systems）的论文《肯尼亚玫瑰种植过程中联合堆肥实现资源循环：农艺学与农药残留评估》，原文DOI链接：https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clwas.2024.100154。 玫瑰是肯尼亚花卉种植业的重要经济作物，属于多年生作物，可连续种植6至10年。玫瑰种植过程会产生大量绿色废弃物，单日每公顷可达50千克。本实验聚焦于探究肯尼亚玫瑰种植场景下规模化堆肥处理玫瑰废弃物的应用潜力。本研究的目标是在低运营成本的大型商业种植环境中，评估玫瑰废弃物堆肥的可行性，并探讨其应用优势与面临的挑战。 研究人员对总重4000千克的绿色废弃物堆体中的三种混合物料的理化参数变化进行了严密监测。此外，还对腐熟后的玫瑰废弃物的农药残留水平开展了检测评估。
