Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) can cause a variety of problems due to its fast spread and congested growth. Nutrient
recycling through the composting of water hyacinth can reduce application of chemical fertilizers to the agricultural field
and problems related to its fast growth rate. The nutrients and stability parameters were evaluated during agitated pile
composting of water hyacinth mixed with cattle manure and sawdust for 30 days composting period. Five different
proportions of cattle manure, water hyacinth and sawdust were prepared for the composting process. Stability of compost
was evaluated using respiration techniques (CO2 evolution and oxygen uptake rate)
