Improving nitrogen uptake efficiency by citrus in Mediterranean areas, where this crop predominates, is crucial for reducing ground-water pollution and enhancing environmental sustainability. This aligns with the Farm to Fork Strategy (European Green Deal) objectives, which aim reduce use of mineral fertilizers up 20% eliminate soil contamination from entirely. In context, exploring potential plant growth-promoting bacteria application nutrient inputs a promising opportunity. The objective...
Abstract. The chemical extractability of heavy metals introduced into the soil during 7 years application sewage sludge, composted municipal solid waste and sheep manure, their availability to citrus plants were studied. total content in (0‐20 cm)was increased by use sludges compost, but only Ni saturation extracts was significantly increased. Total Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn sequentially fractionated water‐soluble plus exchangeable, organically bound, carbonate‐associated, residual fractions....
Abstract The effect of sewage sludge applications on extractability and uptake by chard lettuce soil cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), leaf (Pb), zinc (Zn) was investigated. Ten different treatments (0, 150, 300, 500 kg N ha‐1) as mineral fertilizer, 400, 800, 1,200 ha‐1 aerobically anaerobically‐digested sludges were applied annually to a sandy‐loam since 1984. Seven years after the start treatments, higher levels heavy metals detected in soil, depending type metal,...
The aim of this study was to establish DRIS (Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System) norms Nutritional Optimal Ranges (NOR) for ‘Rojo Brillante’ Protected Designation Origin (PDO) ‘Ribera del Xúquer’. database contained 800 leaf samples collected in different crop phenological stages [after flowering (AF), fruit enlargement (FE), colouring (FC), harvesting HV)]. (78) were established macronutrients: N, P, K, Ca, Mg S; micronutrients B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn salinity elements: Na Cl....
Recycled sources of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N), such as struvite extracted from wastewater, have the potential to substitute conventional manufactured fertilizers mitigate environmental problems water eutrophication or depletion non-renewable resources. This study aimed evaluate a nitrogenous phosphate fertilizer in Spanish Mediterranean region. Two experiments were carried out using recovered sewage sludge different representative soils area. Since knowing rates at which their...
AbstractAnimal by-products such as meat and bone meals are now certified free from bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), their use organic fertilizers is considered safe again. Given that knowing the rates at which nutrients released key to efficient use, nitrogen (N) mineralization in Mediterranean soils fertilized with (MBMs) has been studied by means of 12 incubation experiments using three different textures organic-matter contents five MBMs varied origin characteristics. After...
Soil fertility and nutritional state of persimmon (Diospyros kaki, cv. Rojo brillante), together with their relations to productivity, were studied for two growing seasons in 30 orchards within La Ribera Alta, the main persimmon-producing region Spain. foliar samples analyzed results compared after dividing groups (high low yield) according annual production. A general independence crop yield from soil properties states trees was found, suggesting other factors such as health conditions or...
Composting is an interesting option to recycle big quantities of organic waste because it helps mitigate different environmental problems. Complementary characteristics rice straw (RS) and sewage sludge (SS) create a suitable mixture be used in composting process. This work studies industrial-scale RS SS assess both its viability optimization. Windrow was conducted during two seasons. The complete characterisation (moisture, pH, electrical conductivity, total, oxidisable water-soluble...
