In many studies worldwide the use of treated sewage effluents (TSE) as water and nutrient sources in agricultural irrigation have been introduced as a viable alternative for wastewater destination in the environment. Considering agronomic and environmental aspects the objectives of this review were: (i) to present an overview of TSE irrigation on different agro-systems (annual crops, orchards, forests and forages); and (ii) to show the principal changes on chemical, physical and microbiological soil characteristics after TSE application. Various studies have revealed that the nutrient supply only by TSE irrigation was not sufficient to meet plant nutrient requirements resulting in yield decreases. The problem could be solved by an adapted effluent/fertilizer management. Moreover, TSE could generally substitute efficiently freshwater for irrigation. Regarding soil quality conditions, TSE irrigation affected mainly: (i) total soil carbon and nitrogen, and mineral nitrogen in soil solution; (ii) microbial activity, composition of microbial communities and their function; (iii) exchangeable calcium and magnesium; (iv) salinity, sodicity, clay dispersion and hydraulic conductivity. Other soil parameters considered in this review (e.g. heavy metals) did not present significant changes over short and medium terms. Due to the often observed accumulation of sodium and nitrogen losses (leaching, volatilization and denitrification) after TSE irrigation, the monitoring of these components is of crucial importance for a sustainable use. Finally, further studies on the technical-economical-environmental viability of TSE irrigation are required to establish reliable recommendations for TSE use particularly in Brazilian agro-systems.

Os objetivos dessa revisão foram: (i) enfocar aspectos agronômicos e ambientais concernentes ao uso de ETEs em diferentes agrossistemas (culturas anuais, fruticultura, florestas e forragens); (ii) enfatizar as principais mudanças nas características químicas, físicas e microbiológicas dos solos irrigados com ETEs. Foram observados que, em diversos trabalhos, a irrigação com ETEs não foi suficiente para atender a demanda nutricional das plantas, resultando em diminuição no rendimento. Esse problema poderia ser resolvido mediante adequação do manejo da fertilização e irrigação. Além disso, os ETEs poderiam substituir eficientemente a água doce normalmente empregada na irrigação. Quanto a qualidade de solo, a irrigação com ETEs tem alterado principalmente os parâmetros: (i) carbono total e nitrogênio total no solo e nitrogênio mineral na solução no solo; (ii) atividade, c...

“…Similarly, other apricot studies did not detect any significant effects on fruit size or weight with applications of additional inorganic fertilizers (Lurie et al 1996;Nijjar, Deol, and Bajwa 1970;Stockwin 1996). Although fertilizer requirements for apricot production are low and oftentimes nonexistent on productive soils (Ledbetter, personal communication), decreases in fruit yield and quality would eventually be expected in the control plots where no biosolids, or additional fertilizer, were applied as soil nutrient reservoirs became more depleted over time.…”

“…The application of excessive N can promote excessive vegetative growth, and the resulting shading can lead to poor fruit color and reduced sugar accumulation (Crisosto et al 1997;Lurie et al 1996;Maas and Grattan 1999;Nijjar, Deol, and Bajwa 1970). Although data were not collected on annual pruning weights, visually it appeared that more foliage was removed annually from the G. S. Bañ uelos et altrees that received high rates of applied biosolids.…”

Abstract:The use and disposal of biosolids, or wastewater treatment sludge, as a fertilizer and soil amendment is becoming increasingly widespread. We evaluated the multiyear use of biosolids in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) production, grown on productive agricultural soils. Class A biosolids were initially applied annually at rates of 0, 1.9, 5.8, and 11.7 Mg . ha 21 (dry basis) to a 2-year-old apricot orchard on the USDA-ARS research site on the eastern side of the San Joaquin Valley, CA. These application rates provided estimated rates of 0 (control), 57, 170, and 340 kg total N . ha 21 yr 21 , respectively. Compared to the control treatment, the applications of biosolids significantly increased soil salinity (electrical conductivity from 1:1 soil -water extract) and total concentrations of nutrients [e.g., calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu)] after 7 years but did not increase the concentrations of selected metals [cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb)] between 0-and 60-cm soil depths. Mean concentrations of total nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) in soils (0-to 15-cm depth) ranged from a low of 1. Biosolids applications did not lead to fruit yield reductions, although fruit maturation was generally delayed and more fruits appeared at picking times at the high rate of application. Yellow fruits collected from all biosolids applications were significantly firmer than were fruit collected from control trees, and they had higher concentrations of Ca, potassium (K), S, iron (Fe), and Zn in the fruit. Among the fruit quality parameters tested, the juice pH, total acidity, and fruit skin color were not significantly affected by biosolids applications. Malic acid concentrations decreased most of the time, while citric acid concentrations increased with increasing rates of biosolids applications. Overall, our results suggest that nonindustrial biosolids applied at an annual rate at or less than 11.7 Mg N . ha 21 (340 kg N . ha 21 ) can be safely used for apricot production on sandy loam soils.

“…Muitas das vezes, tem sido recomendado misturar água convencional ao ESET para evitar excesso de N disponível às plantas (Lurie et al, 1996). Magesan et al (1998) no solo e ao aporte de C e água aplicados ao solo mediante irrigação com EET.…”

“…A literatura também relata que as frutíferas vem obtendo sucesso na irrigação com EET (Maurer & Davies, 1993;Lurie et al, 1996), sem maiores efeitos deletérios nas plantas e no ambiente e ainda, tem havido economia de fertilizantes minerais (Fitzpatrick et al, 1986). Johns & McConchie (1994a) verificaram que a cultura da banana foi 10% mais produtiva mediante irrigação com água residuária.…”
