The present paper illustrates the results obtained on oat (Avena sativa L.), Somesan variety, concerning growth, grains and straw yields and also of macroelements accumulation (N, P, K, Ca, Mg) when various doses of sewage sludge were applied associated or not with mineral fertilization. Sewage sludge application produced significant increase of plant height starting with equivalent dose of 100 kg N/ha, meanwhile the highest height was observed in the case of plants fertilized with doses equivalent with 300 and 400 kg N/ha. With the increase of sewage sludge dose it has been observed the straw yield increase, this being statistically assured starting with sewage sludge equivalent dose of 100 kg N/ha. Sewage sludge fertilization, accompanied or not by mineral fertilizers, evidenced that nitrogen contents in oat grains increases with applied sewage dose, being significant from an equivalent dose of 200 kg N/ha. Low sewage doses equivalent with 200-300 kg K/ha evidenced for potassium concentration in oat grains a significant decrease in comparison with untreated variant, meanwhile mineral fertilization generated a significant increase of potassium levels in oat grains. Calcium contents in oat grains present a significant increase after sewage sludge fertilization and at a dose equivalent with 600 kg N/ha, the calcium levels (0.24%) increased 3 times in comparison with untreated variant (0.08%). Sewage sludge fertilization, associated or not with mineral fertilizers, did not produced significant changes of magnesium levels in oat grains, found concentrations being considered as normal values.

The objective of the present paper was to investigate the effects of sewage sludge application on metals (Cu, Mn, Zn, Cd, Co, Pb) accumulation in oat (Avena sativa L.) grains, Somesan variety. It were used various doses of sewage sludge corresponding to equivalent doses of 0-600 kg N/ha associated or not with NPK mineral fertilization. The results evidenced that copper and zinc levels in oat grains increased significant with sewage sludge fertilization starting with a dose equivalent with 200 kg N/ha. Mineral fertilization led to significant decrease of copper content in comparison with sewage sludge treatments only. For manganese, fertilization with sewage sludge has produced a significant decrease, this trend being accentuated up to the equivalent dose of 300 kg N/ha. For cadmium, application of sewage sludge in an equivalent dose of 200 kg N/ha led to concentrations in oat grains higher than 1 mg Cd/kg (imposed limit for grains used for animal feed). This behavior is a consequence of high cadmium content of sewage sludge (of 7.2 times over maximum admitted limit). Cobalt contents of oat grains increased with sewage sludge doses, but the levels are between normal values and concordant with literature data. Application of sewage sludge in an equivalent doses of 500 and 600 kg N/ha generated a significant increase of lead content in oat grains, average values being 1.87 and 2.17 mg Pb/kg, respectively.

The dependence of mineral fertilizers, increasingly, has brought concern facing the increased demand and because it is a non-renewable mineral resource. The organic fertilization, exclusively, it is impractical in large scale, however, the combination of organic and mineral sources have already proved to be feasible, both from the point of view of nutrition of plants as well as in the aspect of recycling of urban and industrial waste by agriculture. This research had as objective to determine the efficiency of aorganomineral fertilizer formulated on the basis of sewage sludge in substitution of mineral fertilizer in the cultivation of sugar cane in environments with different levels of soil fertility. An experiment was conducted in greater soil fertility, in the Institute Federal Goiano– Campus, Morrinhos-GO, Brazil. The other, less soil fertility, was implanted in the ethanol industry Tijuco Valley, located in Rio do Peixe, district of Prata-MG, Brazil. The experimental design was randomized blocks in a factorial 5 x 2 +1 being five doses, with and without a biostimulant plus an additional with mineral fertilization, in four replications. The doses were in function of fertilization recommendation of planting and coverage for each environment, consisting of: 100 % of the mineral source and percentage 0; 60; 80; 100 and 120 % of organomineral fertilizer. We evaluated the productivity, tillering, diameter and height of stem in Prata-MG the different percentages of the fertilization of planting favored and increased productivity, height and stem diameter of sugar cane; the use of biostimulants not contributed to increase crop yield. In Morrinhos-GO, the different percentage of planting fertilization did not increase the productivity, tillering, height and diameter of the sugarcane stem; the use of biostimulants increases the productivity yield of sugarcane. Organomineral fertilizer based on biosolids is similar to fertilization with mineral fertilizer in environments.

Sewage sludge from treatment plants is an important source of N and organic matter for agriculture. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of sewage sludge and mineral fertilization on the soil chemical properties and production of five pineapple cultivars. The study was conducted in 2 x 5 factorial scheme, consisting of two different fertilizers (sewage sludge and mineral fertilizers), combined with five pineapple cultivars (‘Pérola’, ‘Vitória’, ‘Smooth Cayenne’, ‘MD-2’, and ‘IAC Fantástico’). Sewage sludge fertilization favoured soil fertility by promoting a decrease in the pH and increase in the content of soil organic matter, phosphorus, calcium, iron, and zinc, compared to soil with mineral fertilization. In pineapple plants, sewage sludge fertilization provided statistically similar yields and physic chemical fruit characteristics compared to mineral fertilization. Among cultivars, the ‘Smooth Cayenne’ presented the highest yield (125 t ha-1), followed by cultivars ‘MD-2’ and ‘IAC Fantástico’, with intermediate yields of 98 and 90 t ha-1. Cultivars ‘Pérola’ and ‘Vitória’ presented lower yields. In this context, it was observed that sewage sludge can be used in pineapple cultivars, as an alternative source of nutrients to partial replaces inorganic fertilization.

In most Brazilian cities sewage sludge is dumped into sanitary landfills, even though its use in forest plantations as a fertilizer and soil conditioner might be an interesting option. Sewage sludge applications might reduce the amounts of mineral fertilizers needed to sustain the productivity on infertile tropical soils. However, sewage sludge must be applied with care to crops to avoid soil and water pollution. The aim of our study was to assess the effects of dry and wet sewage sludges on the growth and nutrient cycling ofEucalyptus grandisplantations established on the most common soil type for Brazilian eucalypt plantations. Biomass production and nutrient cycling were studied over a 36-month period in a complete randomized block design. Four experimental treatments were compared: wet sewage sludge, dry sludge, mineral fertilizer, and no fertilizer applications. The two types of sludges as well as mineral fertilizer increased significantly the biomass ofEucalyptustrees. Wood biomass productions 36 months after planting were similar in the sewage sludge and mineral fertilization treatments (about 80 tons ha−1) and 86% higher than in the control treatment. Sewage sludge application also affected positively leaf litter production and significantly increased nutrient transfer among the components of the ecosystem.

The Impact

Исследования эффективности минеральных удобрений на фоне последействия извести, внесённой в 1983 году, проводили в 1983–2020 годах на опытных полях Института агробиотехнологий ФИЦ Коми НЦ УрО РАН. Целью исследований было изучение влияния минеральных удобрений на продуктивность и качество бобово-злаковой травосмеси, а также выявление изменений агрохимических показателей почвы под влиянием удобрений и мелиорантов. В результате установлено, что наиболее значительный средний урожай бобово-злаковой травосмеси получен при использовании минеральных удобрений (N60P75K75) на фоне последействия извести (2,0 г.к.). Он составил 6,6 т/га сухого вещества (СВ) и превышал вариант без удобрений на 153,8%. Близкая урожайность трав получена при использовании NPK по фону извести 1,0 г.к. — 6,2 т/га СВ. Установлено, что при использовании удобрений и мелиоранта содержание сухого вещества в травах снижалось на 1–2%. Наибольшее количество сырого протеина было в травах при совместном применении NPK и извести (12,3–13,9%), как и содержание фосфора, калия и кальция (0,91–0,94; 2,82–2,93; 0,77–0,79% соответственно). Наши исследования показали: наиболее оптимальным приёмом воздействия на кислую дерново-подзолистую почву является применение минеральных удобрений (N60P75K75) по фону последействия двух доз извести. К 2010 году содержание гумуса повысилось на 0,4–0,5%, обменная кислотность снизилась на 0,6–0,8 ед. pHKCL, гидролитическая кислотность — на 1,3–1,9 ммоль/100 г почвы, содержание подвижного алюминия — на 1,1–2,2 ммоль/100 г почвы. Значительно повысилось количество подвижного фосфора (156–184 мг/кг почвы) и калия (до 141 мг/кг почвы), в большей степени — при применении NPK по фону последействия извести 2,0 г.к. The effectiveness of mineral fertilizers was tested on the background of lime applied in 1983 at the Institute of Agrobiotechnology from 1983 to 2020. The aim was to analyze the impact of mineral nutrition on productivity and quality of a legume-gramineous mixture as well as on soil chemistry. The mixture showed the best productivity (6.6 t DM ha-1) on the background of N60P75K75 and pH of 2.0. The yield increase amounted to 153.8%. Mineral fertilization under soil pH of 1.0 resulted in 6.2 t DM ha-1. The use of ameliorant decreased DM accumulation by 1–2% under fertilization. Combination of NPK and liming led to the highest content of crude protein (12.3–13.9%) as well as P, K and Ca (0.91–0.94; 2.82–2.93; 0.77–0.79%, respectively). Application of N60P75K75 had the best effect on acid sod-podzolic soil on the background of double liming. By 2010 humus content increased by 0.4–0.5%, pHKCL — by 0.6–0.8 units, hydrolytic soil acidity — by 1.3–1.9 mmol/100 g of soil, soluble Al concentration — by 1.1–2.2 mmol/100 g of soil. Concentrations of soluble P and K grew significantly — 156–184 and up to 141 mg/kg of soil, respectively, mostly due to the NPK application under soil pH of 2.0.

The Impact

The usage of biodegradable waste as sewage sludge in a proper way for tree nurseries enable to seek for ecological, waste-less, alternative to mineral fertilization farming ways. The aim of this research is to investigate impact of sewage sludge fertilizers on Norway spruce (Picea abies) two years’ seedlings growth. Research has been done in 2013-2014 at Utena State Forest Enterprise nursery. The different fertilization rates (20, 40, 60, 80, 100 t/ha) of sewage sludge were investigated and compared with control – traditional fertilization with mineral fertilizers. The impact of sewage sludge was evaluated by seedlings biometric indicators, also dry mass of sample seedlings (medium seedlings by height and diameter). The bigger rates of sewage sludge showed almost better results in exception of seeds outlet. Sewage sludge has long lasting effect on seedlings growth and could successfully shift soil fertilization by mineral fertilizers. The obtained research results confirm the similar research carried out in 2011 in Rokiskis State Forest Enterprise nursery for first year Norway Spruce seedlings.

Sewage sludge is a residue from waste water treatment plants and vinasse is a main effluent from alcohol distilleries. The main differences between them are observed in the nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) contents. Sewage sludge is poor in K, and the vinasse in N. This research was carried out to evaluate sewage sludge and vinasse effects on the nitrogen contents of the plant-soil system and the effects of their application on planted-cane and 1st. ratoon-cane under field conditions, on a Typic Haplustox, in Pontal, State of São Paulo, Brazil, using the sugarcane cultivar SP81-3250. A randomized blocks experimental design was used with 13 treatments and three replications. The results were organized in a 3 × 2 × 2 factorial scheme (three residue forms, two application modes and two rates of N or K) and a control treatment (mineral fertilization). Sewage sludge provided the highest N plant contents and the highest residual N soil contents. Sewage sludge and vinasse can replace mineral fertilization for both planted-cane and 1st. ratoon-cane.

ABSTRACT Cowpea plants produce protein-rich grains and present high yield potential when grown under irrigation and organic fertilization, enabling to substitute part of the mineral fertilizer with sewage sludge, reducing costs and generating environmental benefits. Thus, a field study about residual effect of sewage sludge fertilization on cowpea was developed to evaluate this substitution. The experiment was conducted using a randomized block design with four replications, in a 2×5 factorial arrangement consisted of two fertilization types (residual effect of sewage sludge fertilization, and mineral fertilizers) and five cowpea cultivars (BRS-Pajeu, BRS-Xiquexique, BRS-Marataoa, BRS-Pujante, and BRS-Cauame). The residual fertilizations were from applications of sewage sludge and NPK mineral fertilizers for pineapple crops grown in the area before the cowpea crop. The experiment was conducted using 80,000 plants ha-1 and micro-sprinkler irrigation. Vegetative and yield components, grain yield, and microbiological quality were analyzed. BRS-Pujante had the highest cowpea grain yield (4,124 kg ha-1) and the highest means for vegetative and yield components. The soil with residual sewage sludge fertilization improved the cowpea root growth and grain yield (3,854 kg ha-1); the latter was 19% higher than that of treatments with mineral fertilization. These results were related to the great soil organic matter content provided by the sludge fertilization, which promotes nutrient mineralization, increasing grain yield. Fresh and dry grains of cowpea plants grown under residual effect of sewage sludge fertilization have similar microbiological quality to those of plants grown under mineral fertilization.

Abstract Municipal sewage sludge contains considerable amounts of macro and microelements essential for plant nutrition. With decreasing use of natural and organic fertilizers, there is a need to search for alternative sources of organic matter (which is a substrate for humus reproduction). In a field experiment carried out on heavy soil with neutral reaction, the effect of single application of municipal sewage sludge in a dose of 5.34 Mg·ha−1 DM was compared to an equivalent dose of mineral fertilizers. The test plant was spring barley. After application of municipal sewage sludge, slight positive changes in the chemical properties of the soil were observed. The sewage sludge increased the yield of spring barley grain and straw by, respectively, 14 and 13% in relation to treatment with mineral fertilization. Spring barley fertilized with sewage sludge contained more elements than barley grown only on mineral fertilizers. It was shown that application of municipal sewage sludge to the soil had a significant effect on increase in nutrient uptake by spring barley. Fe was taken up in the highest amount, followed by Al and Mn, and Co was taken up in the smallest amounts. Utilization of Fe, Mn, Co and Al from sewage sludge by spring barley was at 6.0, 4.7, 0.7 and 0.7%, respectively of the amount applied to the soil with this waste. The mass ratios (Fe:Mn, Fe:Al, Mn:Co) analyzed in spring barley biomass were much wider in straw than in grain. In terms of grain feed value, Fe:Mn ratio in grain and straw was greater than optimum.

In this paper we provide new data about the soil enzyme activity as a biological process, which is an indicator for impacts of factorial combinations of lime and fertilizers applications. Five plots divided into fifteen subplots were sampled for determination of the enzymatic indicators of soil quality, based on the actual and potential dehydrogenase and catalase activities. The research revealed that limed soil samples, in comparison with unlimed ones, resulted in significantly higher soil enzymatic activities (p[0.05) in the upper (0-20 cm), while in the deeper (20-40 cm) layer, only catalase activity was significantly higher (at least at p[0.02). Mineral fertilization, in comparison with its farmyard manuring, led to an insignificant increase in each of the three enzymatic activities determined, excepting catalase activity which was significantly higher (0.05]p]0.02) in the 0-20 cm layer. Based on the absolute values of the enzymatic activities, the enzymatic indicators of soil quality (EISQ) were calculated. The mineral NPK-fertilization and low dose of lime in the 0-20 cm layer, and mineral NP-fertilization and low dose of lime in the 20-40 cm layer proved to be the best variants of fertilization. The enzymatic indicators of soil quality in these variants reached the highest values: EISQ=0.821 and EISQ=0.889, respectively, indicating the presence of high enzymatic activities. It should be emphasized that a balanced application of lime, mineral fertilizers and farmyard manure leads to the formation of favorable conditions for the development of microorganisms, growth of plants and for an intense and lasting enzymatic activity.
