Effects of sewage sludge irradiation on uptake of macronutrients and sodium in basil plant under greenhouse conditions [PDF]
Effects of 0, 15, 30 and 60 g per kg of sewage sludge exposed to gamma irradiation at doses of 0, 5, 10 and 20 kGy were investigated on macronutrients and sodium uptakes in the basil root and shoot. The results showed that using 15 and 30 g sewage sludge
