Validation of Guidelines for the Sustainable Application of Phosphorus in Biosolids to Agricultural Soils

ISBN: 1 84057 549 2
To help identify environmentally-sustainable practice with respect to phosphorus (P) in biosolids applied to agricultural land, a field study was undertaken to validate provisional laboratory-based guidelines on release of soluble P in land runoff. As found in the laboratory, the risk of P release from biosolid-amended soils is dependent on both soil type and biosolids type. The study confirmed that the degree of soil P saturation is a reliable indicator for guiding sustainable biosolid practice to avoid eutrophication impacts and should be adopted by the industry to maximise the opportunity to recycle a widely-available and valuable natural resource.
