Aerobic composting process involves the oxidation of relatively complex organic compounds by micro organisms, resulting in simpler organic compounds than originally present. The compost produced has many chemical and physical characteristics that allow it to be used in different ways.

Testing of Compost is important for characterizing the beneficial physical and chemical properties of compost, as well as, for identifying potential problems with compost use.

Compost Testing will also give an idea about the degree of completion, that is, its stability and maturity.
