“…Also, these results suggested that CTS promoted an increase in plant growth due to the availability of plant nutrients in the soil. Similar results were observed by MIRANDA et al (2014) and SILVA et al (2010) evaluating the effect of composted tannery sludge on the growth of cowpea and pepper, respectively.…”

“…This process occurs in root nodules, being the nodulation a suitable indicator of efficient BNF (PEOPLES et al, 1989) and also there is a significant correlation between nodulation and efficiency of N fixation in legumes (DELIC et al, 2010). Also, nodulation and BNF are important parameters for evaluating toxic effects of pollutants (MIRANDA et al, 2014).…”

Nodulation, nitrogen uptake and growth of lima bean in a composted tannery sludge-treated soil

et al. 2019

This study evaluated the responses of lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) to application of composted tannery sludge on nodulation, N uptake and plant growth. For eight years, the compost was applied at rates of: 0, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 Mg ha-1 (dry basis). Plants of lima bean showed higher nodulation in treatments with compost; however, nodules reported in these treatments presented lower biomass, size and diversity than those reported in treatment without compost. Accumulation of N increased with the application of the highest rate (20 Mg ha-1), while there was an increase in chromium content in shoot with the increase in compost rates. Thus, the use of composted tannery sludge, in long-term, increases the accumulation of chromium in plants, increasing nodulation, while decrease rhizobia diversity in nodules.

“…Some studies have proposed the agricultural use of composted tannery sludge as an alternative treatment method like that of other similar solid waste (Singh et al, 2015;Singh, Singh, Ibrahim, & Hashim, 2011;Silva et al, 2010). Previous studies have shown that the use of composted tannery sludge has improved the soil fertility and crop yield (Miranda, Nunes, Oliveira, Melo, & Araújo, 2014;Araújo, Lima, Santos, & Schmidt, 2016). On the other hand, the application of composted tannery sludge has been reported to increase the Cr concentrations in the soil (Santos, Araújo, Nunes, Oliveira, & Melo, 2014), which could limit its use for agricultural purposes, since this element can be easily absorbed by the plants (Gondek, 2008).…”

<b>Chromium accumulation in maize and cowpea after successive applications of composted tannery sludge

et al. 2018

Chromium (Cr) accumulation in soil and plants has been reported after successive applications of tannery sludge, which is a matter of concern because Cr can promote environmental contamination and affect the food chain. In this study, we evaluated the growth of and Cr accumulation in maize and cowpea after seven years of consecutive applications of composted tannery sludge (CTS) under field conditions. The experiment consisted of application of CTS at five levels: 0 (control), 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 Mg ha-1 (dry basis). The growth of and Cr accumulation in maize and cowpea were evaluated at 75 and 65 days after plant emergence, respectively. CTS application increased the shoot biomass of maize and cowpea. Accumulation of Cr was similar for both plant species, with higher accumulation in roots. However, Cr accumulation in grains differed as the CTS doses increased; cowpea accumulated more Cr while maize did not accumulate more Cr in grains with higher CTS doses. In conclusion, application of CTS led to higher growth of maize and cowpea plants, and both species exhibited similar Cr accumulation in roots and shoots.

“…Thus, composted tannery sludge (CTS) application in soil can improve soil fertility, organic matter content, and microbial biomass. Earlier studies reported improved soil properties and crop yield after permanent CTS application in soils (Araújo, De Melo, Araujo, & Van Den Brink, 2020;Miranda, Nunes, Oliveira, Melo, & Araujo, 2014). Araujo et al (2020) reported higher organic matter content and nutrients, such as N, P, and K, while Araujo, Lima, Melo, Santos, and Araujo (2016) reported higher cowpea and maize yield after six years of CTS application.…”

This study was performed to investigate the effects of composted tannery sludge (CTS) on the physical properties of tropical sandy soil after seven years of CTS application. CTS was applied to a Fluvisol at five rates (0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, and 20.0 Mg ha-1) in experimental plots (sized 20 m2) with four replications. Water infiltration into the soil was determined in the field with the concentric-ring infiltrometer method. Bulk density, total porosity, macroporosity, and microporosity were determined in the soil samples. The permanent CTS application altered the physical properties of the soil and led to a decrease in bulk density. The total porosity, microporosity and macroporosity values in the CTS-applied soil ranged from 44.1–51.7, 34.6–39.4, and 9.1–12.8%, respectively. Water-infiltration rates were significantly influenced by CTS. The cumulative infiltrated water in the soil varied from 21.3–34.7 cm. The basic infiltration rate was lower in the unamended soil and increased with an increase in the rate of CTS application. This study confirmed that the physical soil parameters improved after the permanent CTS application. Therefore, this application may be a suitable strategy for improving physical soil properties over time.
