Article Synopsis
- Organic waste management is crucial for reducing environmental impact and reusing waste, leading researchers to assess wood ash (WA) and paper sludge (PS) from a paper mill as effective potting media for soil enhancement.
- Various combinations of WA, PS, and biochar (BC) were tested with sandy loam podzolic soil, revealing significant changes in soil properties including pH levels, bulk density, and water retention capabilities.
- The study indicates that while WA, PS, and BC can improve potting media quality, further research is necessary to understand their influence on plant growth and nutrient absorption.
