Effects of land utilization of sewage sludge on crops and soils

Abstract

Abstract: Effects of land utilization of sewage sludge on crops and soil environment were studied using sewage sludge from the Northern Shenyang Plant of Wastewater Treatment.The results showed that contents of nitrogen,phosphorus and organic matter in the soil were increased after the utilization of sewage sludge,thus being advantageous to growth and development of crops.The biomass of rice after having applied 22.5 and 45t·hm^-2 of sewage sludge was increased by 11.48%～11.83% compared with the control.There was no evident harmful effect of heavy methals from sewage sludge on quality of soil environment,agricultural products and underground water when the application of sewage sludge was controlled within the range of 45t·hm^-2.

Key words: Sewage sludge, Land utilization, Crop, Soil, Environmental impact
