Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Sewage sludge ash (SSA) is a potential phosphorus (P) source for fertilizers, but untreated SSA (USSA) often shows low plant availability of P. To increase P availability, sodium additives can be applied before sewage sludge incineration or during thermochemical SSA posttreatment, as this leads to the formation of CaNaPO4.

In vitro and in sacco determination of neutral detergent fibre digestibility of treated cereal straw
JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Background Cereal straw is hardly digestible due to its complex bonds of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. That is why chemical treatments, such as with sodium hydroxide, may help to loosen the bonds and thus increase ruminal digestibility. Neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility is a good predictor of feed intake.

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and
