Agronomic performance of maize and cover crops using composted sewage sludge to supply phosphorus

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract The application of composted sewage sludge (CSS) in crop production offers a sustainable solution for nutrient recycling and reducing reliance on mineral fertilizers. This study evaluated the residual effects of CSS on phosphorus (P) bioavailability and agronomic performance of maize and cover crops in P‐fixing soils of the Brazilian Savannah (

Effects of eucalyptus thinning on soil chemical attributes in an unfertilized silvopastoral system 6 years after thinning

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Tree thinning is a common practice in silvopastoral systems, but there is no standard percentage of thinning used by farmers. Moreover, it is unclear how the percentage of thinning affects soil chemical attributes throughout the soil profile and throughout the transect between eucalyptus lines.
