Effects of sewage sludge and its biochar on soybean yield in fine-textured loess soil

Abstract: Background: The application of biochar as a soil amendment has achieved popularity and has been found to improve considerably soil nutrient status and plant productivity in low fertile soils. Methods: This study used two different methods to apply sewage sludge and sewage sludge biochar with three replicates in a completely randomized block design. The experiment included (1) control, (2) mulch biochar (20 t/ha), (3) incorporated biochar (20 t/ha), (4) mulch sewage sludge (45 t/ha), and (5) incorporated sewage… Show more

“…Pyrolysis is done under less or no oxygen conditions which reduces the amount of flue gases to be cleaned and acidic gases generation (Hwang et al, 2007). Biochar produced out of dewatered sewage-sludge has been shown to be useful in removing pollutants from wastewater (Fathi Dokht et al, 2017). The ability to remove nucleic acids is an additional advantage of this byproduct material on top of removing agrichemicals, pharmaceuticals and personal care products as well as endocrine disrupting compounds (Thompson et al, 2016).…”
