Metal accumulation and crop yield for a variety of edible crops grown in diverse soil media amended with sewage sludge

Solid sewage sludge was used to amend various soils ranging from sanitary landfill and coal mine gob to agricultural soils, and 15 different crops were grown on the soil, in a project designed to discover the best means of using such sludge. The results, discussed with tables and graphs, indicate wh...

Summary:Solid sewage sludge was used to amend various soils ranging from sanitary landfill and coal mine gob to agricultural soils, and 15 different crops were grown on the soil, in a project designed to discover the best means of using such sludge. The results, discussed with tables and graphs, indicate which soils will benefit from sludge applications and provide new data on the different levels of metal accumulation in the different edible crops.
