Abstract
Beans, cabbage, carrots, millet, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes were grown in pots containing soil amended with 10% by weight of Milwaukee activated sludge. Forty-two elements were determined in the edible plant tissues and growth media by neutron activation, furnace atomic absorption, anodic stripping voltammetry, and other spectrophotometric methods. Nineteen elements were higher in total concentration in the sludge than in the soil. B, Br, Ca, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Se, and Zn were found at higher concentrations in at least three of the crops grown on the sludge-amended soil as compared to the control. Cadmium and zinc were found at particularly high concentrations in cabbage, millet, and onions. Yields of each crop increased markedly except those of cabbage and tomatoes which decreased in the sludge-soil mixture.ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:Various crop plants including Phaseolus beans, cabbage, carrots, onions and tomatoes were grown in pots containing soil amended with 10% by weight of Milwaukee activated sludge. Forty-two elements were determined in the edible plant tissues and growth media. Nineteen elements were higher in total concentration in the sludge than in the soil. B, Br, Ca, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Na, Ni, Se and Zn were found at higher concentrations in at least 3 of the crops grown on the sludge-amended soil as compared with the control. Cd and Zn were found at particularly high concentrations in cabbage and onions. Yields of each crop increased markedly, except those of cabbage and tomatoes which decreased, in the sludge-soil mixture.
