Evaluating soil amendments for establishment of centipedegrass sod

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Soil amendments are frequently incorporated prior to turfgrass sod installation to improve rooting and establishment; however, these materials represent a substantial cost to contractors, sod producers, and homeowners. Despite the widespread use of compost, topsoil, and sand, limited information exists on whether these amendments provide ...

Antimicrobial Resistance at the Human–Animal–Environment Interface: A One Health Perspective on Drivers, Transmission, and Public Health Responses

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat driven by interconnected antimicrobial use and environmental pressures across human, animal, and ecological systems. This review synthesizes current evidence on the major drivers, transmission pathways, reservoirs, surveillance challenges, and public health responses ...

Biosolids for soil, not soil for biosolids?

Soil Research
Biosolids are derived from wastewater treatment process. Globally, the volume of biosolids produced is increasing exponentially. Biosolids can be considered as a renewable resource. In agriculture, biosolids can be used as a carbon and nutrient source to improve soil health and agricultural productivity.

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 ...

Life‐Cycle Environmental Impacts of Removing and Destroying PFAS From Wastewater Effluent

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
A life‐cycle assessment (LCA) framework was used to estimate environmental impacts from retrofitting existing water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) to remove and destroy per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from wastewater effluent to support policy, permitting, and planning by regulatory agencies and utilities.

Moderate‐Temperature Hydrothermal Treatment Removes Detectable DNA and Antibiotic Resistance Genes From Municipal Sludge While Preserving Resource Value

Water and Environment Journal, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 484-494, August 2026.
This graphical abstract shows the overall study design where dewatered wastewater sludge samples were collected and subjected to a range of HT temperatures. Measurement of nucleic acid concentration and antibiotic resistance gene profiles across temperatures showed that HT at moderate temperatures offers sustainable, scalable sludge sanitation and ARG ...

Tall fescue performance in response to natural organic and synthetic granular fertilizers and Rhizoctonia solani inoculation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Repeated applications of natural organic based fertilizers can benefit soil health and potentially suppress some turfgrass diseases. One of the major summer diseases affecting many lawns is brown patch (caused by various Rhizoctonia and Rhizoctonia‐like species).
