“…Mbarki et al (2008) noted that the effect of MSWC on plants depend on bed soil type and dose of application. Similar researches showed that MSWC, in sandy-loam soil, increases the OM content, the nutrition elements K, N, C, Mg, Ca, S (sulfur) and P and augment plant uptake of heavy metals such as Zn, Cu and Pb (Warman and Rodd 1998;Warman et al 2004;Walter et al 2006). The higher rate of use of MSWC increases nutrition availability to plants but at high application rates, the increased heavy metals concentration and high EC in MSW compost can cause damage to plants (Walter et al 2006).…”

Also, MSWC is potentially a major source of infectious disease causing organisms, which was not there in sterile MSWC (Pepper et al 2006;Laturnus et al 2007).…”

Leached spent mushroom compost (SMC), municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) and their extracts, were tested to suppress Phytophthora drechsleri in cucumber plants. The composts were mixed with sand-loam soil in sterile and non-sterile types and were used to assess suppressiveness against P. drechselri in greenhouse experiments. The extracts of composts, in both sterile and non-sterile types, were applied to evaluate their effect in suppression of pathogen in vitro. The results of the experiments showed that all applications rate of non-sterile SMC were significantly effective in the control of the pathogen. However the sterile SMC amendments did not have a positive effect on the pathogen suppression in vitro or in vivo, as it was expected. In greenhouse experiments, both composts were effective in controlling pathogen at the rate of 15%, but the treatments amended with higher rate of MSWC did not show a positive effect. The treatments amended with MSWC (15%) and SMC (25%) showed the most suppressive effect in controlling the pathogen. The extract of leached-SMC could inhibit P. drechselri in petri dish.

“…Total soil Cu concentration increased in all sludge-amended soils; from 34.18-622.27 mg kg 71 in acidic soil, from 24.00-655.12 mg kg 71 in neutral soil and from 13.68-615.15 mg kg 71 in alkaline soil. Total and extractable soil Cu concentrations have been reported to increase when soil was amended with Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) compost (Zheljazkov and Warman 2004;Walter et al 2006;Zhang et al 2006). The most abundant Cu fractions in the treated soils were the non-residual fractions (70.85-73.97%).…”

In a laboratory incubation study, the periodic changes in different chemical fractions of copper (Cu) in three sludge-amended soil types (acidic sandy clay loam, neutral clay loam and alkaline clay loam) of varying soil reaction were monitored under field capacity and flooding moisture regime over 16 months. The water soluble and exchangeable fraction of Cu was very low (1% of total Cu) in all three soil types. At the end of incubation (16 months), the sodium acetate extractable (carbonate sorbed)-and residual-Cu fractions transformed into Fe-Mn oxide fraction, irrespective of moisture regime in all three soil types. However, the extent of transformation varied among soils.
