Application of Phosphorus in Biosolids to Agricultural Soils

Published: 2007

Laboratory studies and field assesssments using representative bisolid types from three regions in England were undertaken to develop practical guidelines on the safe application of phosphorus in biosolids to agricultural land without increasing the risk of eutrophication of adjacent watercourses. The guidelines assess the risk of mobilisation of soil and biosolid phosphorus in runoff and erosion, take account of the hydrological connectivity between the field and the watercourse and suggest potential mitigation options where the risk is high.
