“…However, the presence of Al in plant tissues can be considered as low. This is because Al is mainly 1 3 accumulated in the roots (underground) compared to aboveground, such as in stems, leaves, and fruits due to its low ability to be transported into higher parts of the plant (Ondo et al 2017). The heavy metal concentrations in plant tissues for all elements did not violate the permissible limits of World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for vegetable crops (Bigdeli and Seilsepour 2008).…”

Purpose Utilization of food waste as composting materials offers a sustainable solution to manage waste and reduce reliance on fertilizers. Method This study is focused on the efficiency of food waste compost and the effect of the addition of magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles on the growth and heavy metals uptake by roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) for the cultivation period of 127 days. Five different treatments were applied, namely soil (S), food waste compost (F), a mixture of soil and Fe 3 O 4 (SM), a mixture of soil and food waste compost (SF), and a mixture of soil, food waste compost, and Fe 3 O 4 (SFM). Results After 127 days of cultivation, the plant height averaged at 803 mm with 26 leaves produced across all treatments. Total leaf area, fruit production, and biomass yield were different (P < 0.05) among the treatments. Roselle crops grown under soil and food waste (SF) media produced the highest yield (12.15 g/plant), the most number of fruits (11 fruits/plant), and the highest leaf area (1200 cm 2 /plant). The accumulation of heavy metals in plant tissues was lower than the toxicity levels. There was no difference in the heavy metal content in all growing media, except for Ni, Mn, and Pb. Roselle crops applied with Fe 3 O 4 showed no difference (P > 0.05) from its control (without Fe 3 O 4 ) in relation to growth performance. Conclusion The findings of this study showed that food waste can be applied in composting to promote plant growth. Therefore, it can be considered as a substitute for chemical fertilizers. Meanwhile, the application of Fe 3 O 4 appeared to be experimental-condition dependent.

“…Generally, acid soils manifest a dominance in H + and Al 3+ ions in their soil solution (Ondo, 2011), little organic matter content because of mineralisation (Tiessen et al, 1994) and lack of nutrients. One of the ways to remediate these limitations is amendments which include the application of lime (Pagani & Mallarino, 2012), compost (Chen et al, 2004), wood ash (Nkana et al, 2002), direct P fertilization (Ondo et al, 2017), rock phosphate (Basak & Biswas, 2016), etc. Excess use of P fertilizer and manure may constitute a risk of surface‐ and ground water impairment known as eutrophication (Parvage et al, 2013).…”

Acid soil in West Cameroon has limited phosphorus (P) availability which limits plant growth. This is mainly because of low pH, high levels of exchangeable aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe) and fixation of P. In this study, acid soils, sampled in Bafang, were amended with biochar produced from coffee husks (CH) and cocoa pod husks (CP) at two different temperatures (350 and 550 °C) in other to evaluate the effect on the physicochemical properties of the acid soil and the effect on P sorption and desorption. The soil was amended with biochar at a rate of 0, 20, 40 and 80 g/kg and incubated for 7 and 60 days. Physicochemical properties of all soil–biochar samples were determined followed by sorption experiments and data fitted in the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models in other to evaluate soil P sorption capacity and its affinity to soil amended with biochar. Moreover, desorption studies were done to evaluate the availability of P in soil amended with biochar after sorption. The outcomes of this study reveal an increase in soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), available P, soil organic carbon and a drastic decrease in exchangeable Al and Fe. The point of zero charge of biochar‐amended soil was higher than the control and increased with amendment rate. The experimental data of the sorption of P on soils and soil–biochar samples fits into Langmuir and Freundlich models (R2 > 0.9) suggesting that the P adsorption is controlled by both model mechanisms. Soil–biochar mixture results in a decrease in the sorption capacity as compared with the control and the decrease was predominant with increasing amendment rate. At amendment rates of 20, 40 and 80 g/kg after 7 days of incubation, Qmax for SCH350 were 2267, 2048 and 1823 mg/kg which increased to 2407, 2112 and 1990 mg/kg after 60 days of incubation. This tendency was observed for all biochar inputs with respect to the increase in incubation days. Furthermore, desorption of P from soil–biochar mixtures was enhanced with biochar added at greater rate and produced at higher temperature. The desorption percentage was increased by more than around 10% for all biochar types from 20 mg/kg to 80 mg/kg amendment. Thus, biochar addition to acid soils reduces P fixation to acid soil and improves P desorption to soil solution, thereby providing more available P in the soil solution and better conditions for plant growth.
