The Effects of Sewage Sludge Application Doses and Times on Extractable Metal Concentrations in a Calcareous Pasture Soil
Abstract
The
objective of this study was to determine the effect of the increasing doses of
sewage sludge and different application times on DTPA
(diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) extractable nutrients and heavy metal
concentration in calcareous soil for three years. For this purpose, sewage
sludge was applied at different rates (0, 4.1, 8.2, 16.4 t ha-1) and periods
(spring and autumn) to meet the nitrogen fertilizer requirement of grass-legume
mixtures. Experiment results showed that cumulative sludge applications significantly
increased DTPA extractable metal concentrations for 0-20 cm. Sludge application in spring period reduced
the soil pH and increased the extractable metal concentrations compared to the
autumn. Sludge application doses increased DTPA-Zn concentration for all soil
depths and years. At the end of the experiment, it was determined that the
heavy metal contents in the soil did not reach the levels that would have a
negative effect on plant production. The fact that Van soil is rich in lime and
alkaline pH of the soil, where the experiment was carried out, caused the solubility of heavy metals from sewage sludge
to be low and toxic effect not to be seen. However, long-term sludge
application should be followed in soil.
