The study explored the merit of chemically enhanced biodegradation of high organic matter as a sustainable treatment scheme for industrial wastewaters. For this purpose, an integrated, chemically enhanced activated sludge configuration was tested for confectionary effluents with a COD level of around 10.000 mg L-1. In this configuration, chemical settling acted as a polishing step, which removed 50% of the total COD load, including 10% of colloidal COD in the soluble COD range. The sequential batch reactor, selected as the final biological treatment step, was able to remove the remaining biodegradable COD completely. The study primarily demonstrated the merit of in-plant pollution footprint assessment and wastewater characterization with significant COD fractions as necessary prerequisites for the management and final biodegradation of industrial wastewaters with high organic matter content.

Maize Response

No-tillage systems, associated to black oat as preceding cover crop, have been increasingly adopted. This has motivated anticipated maize nitrogen fertilization, transferring it from the side-dress system at the stage when plants have five to six expanded leaves to when the preceding cover crop is eliminated or to maize sowing. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of soil tillage system and timing of N fertilization on maize grain yield and agronomic efficiency of N applied to a soil with high organic matter content. A three-year field experiment was conducted in Lages, state of Santa Catarina, from 1999 onwards. Treatments were set up in a split plot arrangement. Two soil tillage systems were tested in the main plots: conventional tillage (CT) and no-tillage (NT). Six N management systems were assessed in the split-plots: S1 - control, without N application; S2 - all N (100 kg ha-1) applied at oat desiccation; S3 - all N applied at maize sowing; S4 - all N side-dressed when maize had five expanded leaves (V5 growth stage); S5 - 1/3 of N rate applied at maize sowing and 2/3 at V5; S6 - 2/3 of nitrogen rate applied at maize sowing and 1/3 at V5. Maize response to the time and form of splitting N was not affected by the soil tillage system. Grain yield ranged from 6.0 to 11.8 t ha-1. The anticipation of N application (S2 and S3) decreased grain yield in two of three years. In the rainiest early spring season (2000/2001) of the experiment, S4 promoted an yield advantage of 2.2 t ha-1 over S2 and S3. Application of total N rate before or at sowing decreased the number of kernels produced per ear in 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 and the number of ears produced per area in 2001/2002, resulting in reduced grain yield. The agronomic efficiency of applied N (kg grain increase/kg of N applied) ranged from 13.9 to 38.8 and was always higher in the S4 than in the S2 and S3 N systems. Short-term N immobilization did not reduce grain yield when no N was applied before or at maize sowing in a soil with high organic matter content, regardless of the soil tillage system.

Different Levels

The Cs-137 concentration of oats grown in peat in the greenhouse was affected only slightly by liming. The values were considerably higher than those obtained when mineral soils were used. The effect of different levels of soil organic matter on Cs-137 concentration in oats and alfalfa was obscured by variable exchangeable soil-K contents. But high Cs-137 concentrations were associated with high organic-matter contents provided K was added to the soils. In contrast to the results obtained with oats, the Cs-137 concentration in lettuce grown after oats was found to decrease with increase in soil organic-matter content. It was concluded that the effect of organic matter on the Cs-137 concentration in the second or subsequent crop in a rotation might be different from its effect in the first crop.

Water Treatments

A glasshouse experiment was conducted to study the effect of temporary flooding on the growth and development of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Deltapine 61) and the recovery of nitrogen applied as urea fertiliser in two black earths differing in organic matter content, with three water treatments. Two floodings were applied, at 15 days after planting and at 45 days.Plant dry weight and growth characteristics of the cotton plant such as height, number of leaves, leaf area and fruiting points were greatly reduced by the flooding treatments. The cotton plants were more affected by the first than the second flooding. A greater depression in the various growth characteristics was found in the high organic matter soil than the low organic matter soil. The soils behaved differently in their interaction with the water treatments. With the control water treatment, cotton grown on the high organic matter soil produced more dry matter and assimilated more nitrogen but had a lower nitrogen concentration and apparent recovery of urea nitrogen than did cotton grown on the low organic matter soil. For the flooding treatments the low organic matter soil produced more dry matter and assimilated more nitrogen, but had a lower nitrogen concentration and a higher apparent recovery of urea nitrogen than did cotton grown on the high organic matter soil.The lower apparent recovery of urea nitrogen in the high organic matter soil during temporary flooding appears due mainly to higher loss of nitrogen by denitrification, although other mechanisms may be significant. The wider implications of the results in terms of field practice with irrigated cotton are discussed.
