Assessment of nitrogen losses through nitrous oxide from abattoir wastewater-irrigated soils.

The land disposal of waste and wastewater is a major source of NO emission. This is due to the presence of high concentrations of nitrogen (N) and carbon in the waste. Abattoir wastewater contains 186 mg/L of N and 30.

Abattoir Wastewater Irrigation Increases the Availability of Nutrients and Influences on Plant Growth and Development.

This study evaluated the effects of abattoir wastewater irrigation on plant growth and development. The soils used in this study were collected from Primo Smallgoods Abattoir (Port Wakefield, South Australia) at different sites such as currently irrigated (CI), currently not irrigated (CNI) and soil outside the irrigation area as control (CTRL). A completely randomised block design was employed for the plant growth experiment, where four crops , , and ) were grown separately on three different soils (CI, CNI and CTRL) in plastic pots.
