Conversion from mineral fertilisation to MSW compost use: Nitrogen fertiliser value in continuous maize and test on crop rotation.

•MSWC supports yield performance of spring-summer cereals better than winter cereals.•Combination of MSWC with N mineral fertiliser improves nitrogen apparent recovery.•MSWC immobilises N in first year of application in minerally-fertilised soils.•MSWC increases labile physical organic matter fractions in the top soil layers.•MSWC decreases N2O emissions compared to mineral fertilisation.
