“…Potassium levels were similar for the paper pulp and lime amended soils. A decrease in plant K concentration with increasing application rates of paper mill sludge was observed in several studies (Chong and Cline, 1993;Feagley et al, 1994aFeagley et al, , 1994bBellamy et al, 1995).…”

Paper pulp was evaluated, with reference to lime, as a soil amendment to a tropical acid soil (typic Kandiudult). Rye grass (Lolium perenne L.) was grown under greenhouse conditions. Amendments were applied at rates to attain target pH values of 5.5,6.0, and 6.5. Paper pulp and lime were equally effective in increasing dry matter production. Similar to lime, paper pulp provided high calcium (Ca) inputs and alleviated aluminum (Al) and manganese (Mn) toxicity. Paper pulp can be applied to a tropical acid soil as a lime substitute.

“…No symptoms of Mn toxicity were observed. Feagley et al (1994) reported an increase in Mn uptake by bermudagrass with increasing papermill sludge rates in the range of 0 to 56 Mg ha -1 . It is possible that organic ligands produced by organic matter decomposition after sludge application may have dissolved solid-phase Mn or by forming complexes maintained high levels of Mn in soil solution (Hue 1988;Vega et al 1992).…”

, J. 1998. Effects of de-inking paper sludges on soil properties and crop yields. Can. J. Soil Sci. 78: 689-697. The paper mills in Quebec produce approximately 330 000 Mg of raw de-inking paper sludges (RDS) per year. These residues are rich in cellulose and lignin and may be used as soil conditioner. The effects of RDS on soil chemical properties, barley (Hordeum vulgare L. 'Chapais') growth, nutrient uptake and yields, and their residual effect on a subsequent strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. 'Kent') crop were investigated on a Tilly silt loam (Gleyed Humo-Ferric Podzol) from 1994 to 1996. Four rates of RDS (0, 15, 30 and 45 Mg ha -1 ) on a wet-weight basis were combined with four rates of supplemental N-mineral fertilizer (0, 45, 90 and 135 kg ha -1 ) as NH 4 NO 3 . The soluble inorganic N content of soil sampled 30 d after treatment application was significantly lower in plots treated with 45 Mg RDS ha -1 at all N rates. However, soluble inorganic N concentrations increased significantly with RDS rate to 20-cm depth in June 1995. The RDS application increased soil water content and Mehlich-3-extractable P, K, and Ca in the first year. Barley yields were reduced by 50% when 45 Mg RDS ha -1 was applied without supplemental N-mineral fertilizer. The amount of N-mineral fertilizer needed to overcome N immobilization resulting from RDS increased with RDS rates. Strawberry yields were not significantly affected by residual RDS or N-mineral fertilizer. Changes in plant tissue metal contents were not significant. The results of this study indicate that RDS application has a positive short-term effect on soil water, P and K availability but reduces plant-available soil N in the growing season after spring application. The RDS may be used effectively as soil amendment if the crop receives adequate supplemental N-mineral fertilizer. Par contre, l'azote minéral dans la couche de 0-20 cm de sol en juin 1995 augmentait avec la dose de BDD. Les BDD ont entraîné une augmentation de la teneur en eau et en carbone du sol lors de l'année d'application. De plus, les teneurs en P, K et Ca extractibles par la solution Mehlich-3 ont augmenté suite à l'apport de BDD. Un apport de BDD à raison de 45 Mg ha -1 a diminué le rendement d'orge de 50%. Un apport supplémentaire de N minéral a résulté en une augmentation de rendement d'orge. Les BDD n'ont pas eu d'effet résiduel sur la production de fraises. Aucune augmentation de la teneur en métaux lourds n'a été détectée dans les tissus d'orge ou de fraises. Ces résidus peuvent être considérés comme un amendement organique. Toutefois, un apport supplémen-taire d'azote minéral à la culture doit être envisagé pour éviter les problèmes de carence en N.

“…Reported cation exchange capacities (CEC) of paper mill sludges vary widely: 297 cmol (+) kg -1 (Field et al 1996), 62.8 cmol (+) kg -1 (Feagley et al 1994a), 12-42 cmol (+) kg -1 (Campbell et al 1995), 10.6 cmol (+) kg -1 (Cavaleri et al 2004); 5.3 cmol (+) kg -1 (Fierro et al 1999). Differences in CEC may reflect differences in sludge composition, organic matter fraction and/or clay content, or differences in measurement method.…”

“…), the liming value of sludge is represented by the term "CaCO 3 equivalence (CCE)", indicating its neutralizing value relative to an equivalent weight of pure CaCO 3 . The CCE of a primary sludge from a bleached Kraft mill in Portugal was reported to range between 25 and 50% (Valente et al 1987), a primary sludge from Louisiana was 33% (Feagley et al 1994a), a combined sludge from Maine was 14.6% (Carpenter and Fernandez 2000), a primary sludge from Oregon was 12.7% (Sherwood 1992), a deinking sludge from Wisconsin was 9.2% (Diehn 1991), and a deinking sludge from the United Kingdom was 5.9% (Aitken et al 1998).…”

Pulp and paper mill sludges are produced from primary and secondary treatment of wastes derived from virgin wood fiber sources, recycled paper products, and non-wood fibers. Sludges and sludge composts may be utilized in agriculture to increase soil organic matter, improve soil physical properties, provide nutrients, and increase soil pH. Positive effects of primary, deinking, and low-nutrient combined sludges on soil quality are primarily due to increased soil organic matter, aggregation, water holding capacity, infiltration rate, and cation exchange capacity. Nitrogen and P immobilization are often induced by primary and deinking sludges, but can be overcome by delayed planting, adding N and P, planting of legumes, or composting. Improved crop production obtained with secondary treatment sludges is most often attributable to enhanced nutrient availability, particularly N, but improved soil physical properties are implicated in some studies. Pulp and paper mill sludges and sludge composts are useful soil amendments and plant nutrient sources. Key words: Paper mill sludge, soil physical properties, N and P immobilization, nutrient efficiency, land application
