PLANT AVAILABILITY OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN SEWAGE SLUDGE-TREATED SOILS: METHODOLOGY

The objective of this work was to the identify and quantify the organic acids composition in the rhizosphere of four plant species grown in sewage sludge-treated media and to

Twenty sewage treatment plants were selected throughout Paraná State (Brazil), and samples of alkalinized sewage sludge and samples of the most representative agricultural soil of

The Cu availability decreases with the use of alkaline sewage sludge were observed in 9 of 13 clayey and very clayey soils (Table 5). In addition to the higher clay content,

The experimental set with sewage sludge results showed an increase of the potassium concentration and chloride concentration in the leached solution, as well as the reduction of

Although plants in treated soils showed signs of senescence, treatment with neutralized sewage sludge yielded higher production of dry matter than others.. When treated

In all soils, production of dry matter was greater in those treated with fowl manure, followed by those treated with neutralized sewage sludge, differing between them and
