 Green waste composting has also been linked to suppression of soil borne diseases such as damping off and root rots that affect large agricultural ventures like greenhouses and large-scale farms.This disease suppressive quality has positive implications for lesser-developed nations that do not have the technology or resources to purchase expensive fertilizers.Addition of composts which contain residues and particles of heavy metals to soil can raise the soil's heavy metal content and increase the probability of these metals to transfer into crop plants.
