Present work aimed the physic-chemical and biological characterization of products obtained from composting of several organic wastes: sewage sludge produced at wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), organic fraction of municipal solid waste (MSW) and, green waste from parks and gardens. A commercial substrate used at nursery plants was also characterized. The compost that presented minor potentiality to be used o...
We investigated the effects of different application rates of insoluble hydrophilic polyacrylate polymers on plant growth and soil quality from a Pb-contaminated mine soil. The polymer increased the waterholding capacity of the soil from about 250 g ⁄ kg in unamended soil to almost 1000 g ⁄ kg in soil with 0.6% polymer. However, the capacity of the polymer to retain water decreased progressively, presumably as ...
