Biosolid in the Chemical and Physical Attributes of a Typical Dystrophic Red Latosol

Abstract

This experiment assessed the effects of biosolids in the soil's chemical and physical characteristics. Soil was mixed to a biosolid in a totally randomized design, within a 5 × 4 factorial scheme: five doses of biosolid (0, 60, 120, 180, and 240 m 3 ha -1 ) and four depths (0-0.10; 0.10-0.20; 0.20-0.30; 0.30-0.40 m). Soil was placed in 50 L-tubs imitating the soil profile. Doses of biosolid were added to the soil and samples were retrieved after 120 days. Biosolid tended towards acidification, with very low P and K rates. Nutrient leaching, such as Mg, increases microporosity and the reduction of soil macroporosity should be considered in high doses of biosolid.

“…The limiting factor can be overcome by input or costs that must be spent. Common problems in latosol soil are acid soil reactions, low organic matter content, low nutrient availability and reserves, and high Al saturation (Maas et al 2020;Ikhwani et al 2021;Wardani et al 2021;Wei et al 2021). The typical reaction of this soil will impact increasing Al content, which is toxic to plants, besides affecting P availability because P is fixed in the form of Al-P (Widawati dan Suliasih 2020;Fernandes et al 2021;Minardi et al 2021).…”
