“…This could be explained with a higher soil EC value in the I3 irrigation interval as seen in Fig. 3 due to divalent cations in soil solution which can lead to considerable increases in aggregation (Sahin et al 2020).…”

Improving the structure of clay soils with sewage sludge to achieve better aeration and infiltration is one of the practical ways to maintain sustainable use of agricultural land. Furthermore, wetting-drying processes on the surface caused by changing irrigation intervals can supplement benefits to structural improvement under wastewater irrigation conditions. Therefore, a laboratory model study was carried out using three sewage sludge doses (50, 100, and 150 Mg ha −1 ), two types of water (freshwater, recycled wastewater) and three irrigation intervals (4, 8, and 12 days; as wetting-drying cycles) in clay soil containers. The highest dose caused a lower pH (6.92) and particle density (2.612), while organic matter (4.33%), CaCO 3 (2.21%), electrical conductivity (2.476 dS m −1 ), wet aggregate stability (74.3%), field capacity (0.395 m 3 m −3 ), stable and mean infiltration rates (10.4 and 13.9 mm h −1 ) increased. Wastewater increased electrical conductivity, CaCO 3 content and bulk density, and decreased porosity and macro-porosity. The highest irrigation interval decreased particle density, and increased electrical conductivity and organic matter content. The moderate irrigation interval was the most effective option in delivering higher mean infiltration rates. It can be concluded that adding sewage sludge to clay soil, especially at a dose of 150 Mg ha −1 is an appropriate option to improve infiltration with better wet aggregate stability. Wastewater irrigation in clay soil can be a practical way both to dispose waste and to save freshwater. Long irrigation intervals can maintain organic matter for a longer time.

“…One of the protective ways from soil sodicity stress is using soil conditioners e.g. agricultural gypsum, which causes enhancement of sodic soil properties, thus increasing tolerance of plant against sodicity conditions where it has a calcium content (Ca 2+ ) of 23%, which enables Na + displacement on the cation exchange sites of the soil colloids as well as gypsum has a sulfur content of 19% (Sahin et al 2020). Many studies confirmed that soil addition of agricultural gypsum to sodic soil could accelerate Na + leaching, and subsequently raising exchangeable calcium percentage and declining exchangeable sodium percentage (Bayoumy et al 2019 andEl-Hadidi et al 2020).…”

Nowadays, degraded soils reclamation e.g., sodic soils is the main target for Egypt Government to face the great gap between food production and consumption. The high exchangeable sodium on soil colloids is a plant stress factor due to its role in reducing soil aggregates. To face this challenges, two field experiments were carried out aiming at evaluating the impact of soil amendments as main plots i.e. sugar lime mud and agricultural gypsum, and foliar application of potassium silicate at different rates [0.0 (control), 750 and 1500 mg L -1 K2SiO3] as sub-plots on wheat plants grown on soil having ESP value of 15.9%. Both soil amendments improved sodic soil properties, where the superior amendment was gypsum followed by sugar lime mud compared to untreated soil, and this improvement reflected on plant performance. The rate of 1500 mg L -1 K2SiO3 possessed the best performance, while the rate of 750 mg L -1 K2SiO3 came in the second-order and lately control treatment. Generally, the best performance of wheat plants grown under sodicity condition was realized when plants were treated with gypsum and potassium silicate at rate of 1500 mg L -1 , while the lowest performance was recorded when plants were not treated (without soil and foliar applications). The studied materials enhanced the synthesis of chlorophyll in wheat plant tissues, and this may be the reason for increasing the ability to tolerate sodicity. Also, sugar lime mud has a great opportunity to be included in the fertilization programs for degraded soil especially from an economic point of view.

To reduce the environmental load due to waste generation, there is an urgent need of utilizing the industrial/municipal waste in the bulk. There is a large scope of utilizing the bulk amount of waste as geotechnical material. Several studies have been made to utilize the industrial waste such as fly ash, slag, red mud, mine overburden etc. as geotechnical material, however, the sewage sludge did not get much attention. So, this research has been presented as a preliminary study which includes the physical, chemical, and microstructural property of sewage sludge for futuristic geo-material. Further, the biomass ash has been added with the sewage sludge to know its effect. The test result shows that the sewage sludge contains high concentrations of chromium, mercury and nickel. Dewatered municipal sewage sludge (80%) stabilized with biomass ash (20%) was used as a soil amendment, to predict the behavior of soil under a controlled environment. The application of stabilized sewage sludge over soil sample resulted in a significant increase in pH and electrical conductivity of the soil sample. The effect of stabilized sewage sludge over macronutrients and micronutrients present in soil was also determined and the results of statistical analysis revealed that the usage of sewage sludge stabilized with biomass ash enhances the fertility of the soil.
