Effect of Municipal Sewage Sludge on Soil Chemical Properties and Chemical Composition of Spring Wheat

Abstract: Municipal sewage sludge from rural sewage treatment plants is characterized by a substantial content of organic matter and macronutrients, which can be used in cultivation of cereals. In a farm located in the commune of Iwanowice in the south of Poland (Malopolska province), municipal sewage sludge was applied under spring wheat cultivation. The experiment was set up on heavy soil with slightly acid reaction and medium content of available forms of P, K, Mg. Application of sewage sludge in a dose of 23 Mg fres… Show more

“…Previously, a 153% increase in EC was found following the application of raw SS having EC 2.85 dS m −1 in clayey soil (EC 0.35 dS m −1 ), showing that SS holds significant potential to raise soil EC following its application [35]. Similarly, the increase in soil pH under ISS application might be due to higher application rate and inherent acidity of ISS or may be due to the humification of applied SS [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. Decomposition of SS following its application to soil leads to the release of fractions of available organic carbon and humus, which have a beneficial influence on soil properties and plant growth [44].…”

“…One of the primary sources of soil organic matter is plant debris that is returned to the soil. Adding organic matter into the soil will liberate the elements it contains, such as N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and so on, and increase its availability for plants (Antonkiewicz et al, 2019). Soil organic matter plays a vital role in exchanging cations and, at the same time, providing nutrients for plants.…”
