“…On the other hand, the Israeli Ministry of Environmental Protection allows land application at rates up to 40 m , which is expected "to be on a safe side" [7]. OMW could serve as fertilizer [8][9][10], but it may also render soils water repellent or modify the sorptive capacity of soil for organic pollutants on a long-term scale [9,[11][12][13], and leaching of OMW components to groundwater cannot be excluded [14,15]. Moreover, OMW is phytotoxic to, for instance, spinach [16] and cress [17].…”

Although olive mill wastewater (OMW) is often applied onto soil and is known to be phytotoxic, its impact on soil fauna is still unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate how OMW spreading in olive orchards affects Oribatida and Collembola communities, physicochemical soil properties and their interdependency. For this, we treated plots in two study sites (Gilat, Bait Reema) with OMW. Among others, the sites differed in irrigation practice, soil type and climate. We observed that soil acidity and water repellency developed to a lower extent in Gilat than in Bait Reema. This may be explained by irrigation-induced dilution and leaching of OMW compounds in Gilat. In Bait Reema, OMW application suppressed emergence of Oribatida and induced a community shift, but the abundance of Collembola increased in OMW and water-treated plots. In Gilat, Oribatida abundance increased after OMW application. The effects of OMW application on soil biota result from an interaction between stimulation of biological OPEN ACCESSAgriculture 2015, 5 858 activity and suppression of sensitive species by toxic compounds. Environmental and management conditions are relevant for the degree and persistence of the effects. Moreover, this study underlines the need for detailed research on the ecotoxicological effects of OMW at different application rates.

“…Soil OC is known to control sorption interactions with organic compounds (Yang and Xing, 2012). Specifically, the enhancement of soil-pesticide (i.e., atrazine, simazine, diuron and others) interactions in soils treated with OMW or other OM-rich amendments was found to be accompanied with increases in the soil OC content (Delgado-Moreno et al, 2007;Schaumann et al, 2011;Peikert et al, 2015).…”

“…Such a study will contribute to our understanding of the physic-chemical and biological processes occurring with participation of natural and anthropogenically derived organic compounds (including agrochemicals, e.g., pesticides) in various and, specifically, OMW-affected soil environments. At present, little work has been done regarding the sorption of organic compounds onto soils affected by OMW (Cox et al, 1997;Schaumann et al, 2011). Recently, OMW-induced increases in soil sorption of simazine and diuron were demonstrated (Peikert et al, 2015), but that study did not include detailed examination of the sorption isotherms.…”
