  Author(s): David Alabi*, Roger Coopoosamy, Kuben Naidoo and Arthur Georgina
  
  The huge accumulation of sugarcane by-products causes pollution and environmental degradation in the countries where they are grown. This sugarcane by-product is generally regarded as bagasse. It encompasses lignocellulose which is not exploited productively. Bagasse is potentially viable when varied into agrarian soils as natural nourishment. It can recuperate soil health and justifiable agricultural output by enhancing water absorbency, penetration, soil drainage, ventilation, and structure. Composted by-products are converted into nutritive organic manure and promising technology of waste disposal has been pre-treated and/or inoculated with cellulose-degrading organisms. It enables both local and industrial reconditioning and firm handling of unwanted carbon-based substances. Organic solid waste is suitable for composting because they are biodegradable. The fin..
