An assessment of market prices of fertilizers and pesticides establishes the consumer's willingness-to-pay for such goods. A study on compost utilization in golf course management, at the North Carolina State University, assessed the effect of added nutritional value, physical and chemical property changes of soil, and metal accumulation on the valuation of the amendment. Uniform spreadability of the amendment is necessary.
