Effect of forage grass (Pennisetum pedicellatum) and legume (Stylosanthes hamata) revegetation on recovery of soil fertility in a reclaimed hazardous waste dump
Abstract:Dumping of hazardous waste causes land degradation, air, and water pollution, deteriorates landscape and aesthetics, which can be controlled by reclaiming with grass-legume seeding. The study aimed to examine the effect of grass-legume revegetation between 1-and 5-years in a restored waste dump (hazardous waste of an integrated steel plant) reclaimed with coir-matting, topsoil blanketing followed by grass (Pennisetum pedicellatum) and legume (Stylosanthes hamata) seeding. We hypothesized that the synergistic e… Show more
