The results of the statistical analysis The pH decreased in fermented sawdust at the beginning of the fermentation at 7.27, then the degree of pH rose to be alkaline at the end of the fermentation and reached 8.17. The degree of Ec is two months after the start of the fermentation, and then it decreased at the end of the fermentation process, and the percentageof total nitrogen content was observed in the start of the fermentation due to its nitrogenous poverty. A significant decrease in organic carbon and organic matter was also observed with increased fermentation time, and the results showed that the percentage of C\/N was high in fermentation raw materials and then decreased after two months with significant differences in favor of the treatment 4 months. The treatment (4 months) is the best results and with clear differences in all the indicators studied in the experiment.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Key words:<\/strong> sawdust, carbon, nitrogen, organic matter, compost, fermentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v12n5p1.pdf\">pdf<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ababel hamoud*(1) and Hayat watfa(2) (1).
