Plant Availability of Phosphorus in Sewage Sludge Compost
Field and greenhouse studies were conducted to compare the effectiveness of Blue Plains sewage sludge compost (BLU), Parkway sewage sludge compost (PAR), and triple superphosphate (TSP) as sources of P for corn. These amendments were applied to a Sassafras sandy loam (T> pic Hapludults) in a field study and to the Sassafras soil and a Christiana silty clay loam (Typic Paleudults) in a greenhous...
متن کاملReuse of textile effluent treatment plant sludge in building materials.
This study examines the potential reuse of textile effluent treatment plant (ETP) sludge in building materials. The physico-chemical and engineering properties of a composite textile sludge sample from the southern part of India have been studied. The tests were conducted as per Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) specification codes to evaluate the suitability of the sludge for structural and non...
متن کاملExtractability, Plant Yield and Toxicity Thresholds for Boron in Compost
The increasing use of a variety of postindustrial wastes believed to be benign in the compost process raises the concern of presence and toxicity of xenobiotics, defined as compounds that have been introduced into the environment by artificial means at any point in their useful cycle, and which may or may not later exert harmful influences if present in composts. Boron (B) is a trace element th...
متن کاملUsing Bioassays and Species Sensitivity Distributions to Assess Herbicide Toxicity towards Benthic Diatoms
Although benthic diatoms are widely used in ecological studies of aquatic systems, there is still a dearth of data concerning species sensitivities towards several contaminants. Within the same community, different species may respond differently depending on their physiological and ecological characteristics. This lack of knowledge makes specific appropriate risk assessment impossible. To find...
متن کاملBioassays - Critical to Biocontrol of Plant Disease
Bioassays are frequently used by plant pathologists for studies related to disease resistance. fungicides, nematicides, and biocontrol agents. Their use was perfected with the development of chemical control agents. Bioassays were standardized as a result of cooperation among individuals. committees, industry and professional societies. Bioassays for biocontrol of plant disease have not been ex...
