Waste management and declining soil fertility are the two main issues experienced by all developing nations, like India. Nowadays, agricultural utilization of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is one of the most promising and cost effective options for managing solid waste. It is helpful in solving two current burning issues viz. soil fertility and MSW management. However, there is always a potential threat because MSW may contain pathogens and toxic pollutants. Therefore, much emphasis has been paid to composting of MSW in recent years. Application of compost from MSW in agricultural land helps in ameliorating the soil's physico-chemical properties. Apart from that it also assists in improving biological response of cultivated land. Keeping the present situation in mind, this review critially discusses the current scenario, agricultural utilization of MSW compost, role of soil microbes and soil microbial response on municipal solid waste compost application.
废物管理和土壤肥力下降是所有发展中国家（如印度）面临的两个主要问题。如今，城市固体废物（MSW）的农业利用是管理固体废物最有前景且最具成本效益的选择之一。它有助于解决当前两个亟待解决的问题，即土壤肥力和城市固体废物管理。然而，由于城市固体废物可能含有病原体和有毒污染物，始终存在潜在威胁。因此，近年来人们非常重视城市固体废物的堆肥处理。将城市固体废物制成的堆肥应用于农田有助于改善土壤的物理化学性质。除此之外，它还有助于改善耕地的生物反应。考虑到当前的情况，本综述批判性地讨论了当前的形势、城市固体废物堆肥的农业利用、土壤微生物的作用以及土壤微生物对城市固体废物堆肥应用的反应。
