A Study on the Effects of Pulp and Paper Industry Sludge on Sweet Corn Crops Grown in Containers

Journal Title: Ecologia Balkanica - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 1

Abstract

Sludge which are produced from waste-water treatment facilities represent a serious environmental problem in terms of their storage. However, they also represent an organic reserve, biomass rich in macro and micronutrients for soils. Thus, sludge could be used to recover the balance of organic matter in soils. We aimed in the present study to determine the influence of sludge produced from a pulp factory on the development of mays ([i]Zea may[/i][i]s[/i]) in laboratory conditions.
