Résumé : Peri - urban agriculture is rapidly expanding in developing countries. Cropping systems that concern generally high added - value crops such as vegetables are intensive, with large organic or mineral inputs. The towns produce also large amount of waste which h ave to be managed. Municipal solid waste (MSW) composting process reduces greenhouse gas emission comparatively to waste storage in landfills. However, uses of MSW compost in cropping systems have to be tested to assess their efficiency in plant production and the soil quality preservation. Two experiments were carried out near Mahajanga in Madagascar on "vegetable leaves" cropping systems, the main vegetable production in the country. Two MSW composts were compared to conventional organic inputs: poultry manure (site 1) or pig manure (site 2). The first one was initially composed of waste coming from market rich in vegetables residues, and the second compost was initially composed of waste of wider origin as green waste and other organic products. The N dynamic and plant yields were measured during two 3 month cropping seasons. All treatments were repeated 4 times according to a complete randomized experimental design. To assess the N mineralization of organic inputs, experiments in each site were repeated with or without plant. The results showed that the yields obtained with MSW compost are higher than those obtained with pig manure and urea and similar to that obtained with poultry manure. Monitoring levels of soil mineral N revealed a significant accumulation of mineral N under certain conditions. This indicated a possible source of environmental pollution by nitrates. In conclusion, MSW compost was efficient as organic fertilizer in vegetable cropping systems in Mahajanga, Madagascar. Intensifying MSW management this way could contribute to the development of climate smart agriculture around developing countries' towns, provided that the total safety of these organic products is verified, even after their application in soils.
