Abstract
The use of sewage sludge, generated during wastewater treatment, as an organic fertilizer has attracted more attention in view of soil amendment and nutrient supplying (Antolin et al. in Field Crops Res 94(2–3):224–237, 2005) and at the same time to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers (Passuello et al. in POP accumulation in the food chain: Integrated risk model for sewage sludge application in agricultural soils 36(6):577–583, 2010).
