Corn Fertilization Using Swine Wastewater and Soil-Water Environmental Quality

Wastewater from swine farming in the growth and nutrition of Khaya senegalensis (DESR.) A Juss seedlings

“…Decreases in the values of the analysed variables from the estimated optimal concentration may have occurred due to the large amount of salts in the SFW, which is characteristic of these effluents, reflecting in an increase in the EC of the substrates at the greatest concentrations of SFW (Tables 1 and 2). A similar result was found when growing soybeans, with an increase in the EC of the soil leachate that received increasing doses of SFW; this increase was undesirable due to the soluble salts (Rosa et al, 2017a). In Enterolobium contortisiliquum seedlings, Araújo et al (2016) attributed the decrease in growth and quality of seedlings irrigated with SFW to the high concentration of ionised salts in solution causing a reduction in plant metabolism.…”

“…Therefore, an ecofriendly alternative to wastewater is its use as nutrient source in vegetation fertilization, enhancing soil chemical attributes and promoting nutrient cycling. This practice allows the farmer to minimize the costs with conventional fertilizers and provides an alternative to the raw discharge of residues generated from extensive poultry, beef and pork production, allowing soil and plants to be used as filters (CABRAL et al, 2014;PEgoraro et al, 2014;ROSA et al, 2017a).…”

“…Several studies have evaluated the effects of wastewater use on agricultural crops (GÓMEZ-GARRIDO et al, 2014;PASSARIN et al, 2016;ROSA et al, 2017a), and on changes in soil chemical, physical and biological attributes (TESSARO et al, 2013;Brooks et al, 2014;CABRAL et al, 2014CASTALDELLI et al, 2015OLIVEIRA et al, 2015;Pereira et al, 2016;MOURA et al, 2016;ROSA et al, 2017b;PACHECO et al, 2017). However, there is still little information on the use of wastewater in forest production.…”

Swine Wastewater: Impacts on Soil, Plant, and Leachate

“…Several studies have reported the impact of wastewater disposal on soil Rosa et al, 2017), leachate (Prior et al, 2009;Maggi et al, 2011;Lourenzi et al, 2014b), drained (Dal Bosco et al, 2008b;Doblinski et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2013), crops (Kessler et al, 2013a;Kessler et al, 2013b;Passarin et al, 2016;Lourenzi et al, 2014a), and biota (Tessaro et al, 2013;Brooks et al, 2014;Castaldelli et al, 2015;Tessaro et al, 2016).…”

Agronomic performance of white oats cultivated under fertigation with treated sewage effluent and definition of critical limits of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index

“…It can completely eliminate the need for nitrogen fertilization, as well as the majority of potassium fertilization in crops, which leads to greater yield than that with mineral fertilization (Fortes Neto et al 2013;Santos et al 2017a). The application of TSE increases soil fertility (Rosa et al 2017), and does not detract it from its physical properties (Andrews et al 2016), especially in regions with high crop yield due to humid climates. This generates a large amount of nutrients and vegetal residues that promote improvements in the physical quality of soil.…”
