Surface water quality impacts from organic versus conventional agricultural systems

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Agriculture is integrally intertwined with water, yet we have little information about how the different approaches to growing food influence water quality. Food production through different strategies is driven by economic and environmental concerns. Organic agriculture has increased for several decades and is projected to continue.

Influence of biosolid stability, temperature and water potential on nitrogen mineralisation in biosolid amended soils [PDF]

, 2011
Dissertation (MSc(Agric))--University of Pretoria, 2011.Soils with inherently low soil fertility, and nutrient depletion of fertile soils, are the root causes of declining per capita food production in Africa.

Potential Regrowth and Recolonization of Salmonellae and Indicators in Biosolids and Biosolid-Amended Soil [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2005
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the potential for conversion of Class B to Class A biosolids with respect to salmonellae and fecal coliforms during solar drying in concrete lined drying beds. Anaerobically (8% solids) and aerobically (2% solids) digested Class B biosolids were pumped into field-scale drying beds, and microbial populations and ...

Environmental Transformation and Trophic Transfer of Engineered Nanomaterials in the Agri‐Food Chain and Implications for human Health

ChemFoodChem, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are increasingly applied in agriculture to improve crop yield, nutrient efficiency, and food quality. This study examines the environmental transformation of ENMs, their uptake in plants, and their transfer across the agri‐food chain leading to human exposure.

Sewage Sludge-Derived Biosolid and Bacillus aryabhattai as Bioinputs for Sustainable Sunflower Production

Agronomy
Increasing domestic sewage production associated with urban population growth poses environmental challenges. Biosolids from wastewater treatment can recycle nutrients in agriculture, while plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) enhance nutrient ...

Clostridioides difficile as a Zoonotic and Foodborne Pathogen: Reviewing the Global Evidence and South African Data

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Clostridioides difficile infections are increasingly problematic in areas with already burdened healthcare systems. From a One‐Health perspective, a lack of surveillance in developing countries greatly contributes to the limited information available on the zoonotic and foodborne potential of C. difficile.

Bioaccumulation of Potentially Toxic Elements in Lettuce and Soil Fertility Treated with Biosolid

, 2021
The use of biosolids in agriculture contributes to soil fertility and plant nutrition. However, the presence of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can limit its use as a fertilizer.

Integrated Soil Salinisation Management Strategies in Agriculture

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
This review synthesises integrated water, agronomic, and biochemical strategies for managing soil salinisation, presenting a decision framework for selecting cost‐effective amendments based on initial soil assessment and long‐term sustainability monitoring. ABSTRACT Soil salinisation poses a global threat to agricultural sustainability, affecting about
