Effect of biosolids on the nitrogen and phosphorus contents of soil used for sugarcane cultivation

Heliyon, 2021
The application of biosolids improves soil nutrient availability and crop productivity; however, their application needs to be carefully evaluated so as to avoid the risk of contamination.

Do fields with elevated soil test phosphorus disproportionately contribute to Western Lake Erie Basin dissolved phosphorus loading?

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2025.
The relationship between soil test phosphorus (STP) concentrations and annual dissolved phosphorus (DRP) loads at the edge‐of‐field were upscaled to the Western Lake Erie Basin (WLEB). Results revealed that elevated STP fields disproportionately contribute to WLEB DRP loads but are not the dominant source leading to harmful and nuisance algal blooms ...

Land Application of Biosolids in the USA: A Review

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2012
Land application of biosolids has proven a cost-effective method of waste disposal by beneficially recycling organic matter and nutrients and improving soil quality; however, it may also pose potential threat to the environment and human health.

Evaluation of Non-Conventional Biological and Molecular Parameters as Potential Indicators of Quality and Functionality of Urban Biosolids Used as Organic Amendments of Agricultural Soils

Applied Sciences, 2020
Biosolids are waste from wastewater treatment and have a high content of organic matter and nutrients. In this study, not conventional physicochemical and biological properties of biosolids produced during different seasons of the year were evaluated ...

Quantifying microplastics in environmental waters: Mass concentrations are superior to abundance

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Microplastics are contaminants of global concern that are primarily studied in marine and urban environments. Understanding of microplastics in drained agricultural watersheds is lacking. We aimed to evaluate microplastics in ditch and tile drainage water through periodic sampling. Water samples were filtered to capture particulates that were

RhizoSorb active ingredient reduces water‐extractable soil phosphorus following poultry litter applications

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Manure applications can be a source of phosphorus (P) in runoff. This study evaluated whether RhizoSorb, a modified aluminum oxide soil amendment, could reduce water‐extractable P (WEP) in the 0‐ to 7.5‐cm soil depth after poultry litter applications.

Biosolids affect the growth, nitrogen accumulation and nitrogen leaching of barley

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2018
Biosolids are organic fertilisers derived from treated and stabilised sewage sludge that increase soil fertility and supply nitrogen to crops over a long period, but can also increase the risk of nitrogen (N) leaching.

Agronomic biofortification of wheat with zinc through co‐addition of organic carbon with zinc fertilizers

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Zinc malnutrition ranks fifth in terms of the leading cause of disease in developing countries. Agronomic biofortification is an effective way to increase micronutrient concentrations in grain crops. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of various Zn sources (organic and inorganic) with and without organic C ...
