Waste to resource: use of water treatment residual for increased maize productivity and micronutrient content (2021)
Journal Article

Soil degradation, which is linked to poor nutrient management, remains a major constraint to sustained crop production in smallholder urban agriculture (UA) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). While organic nutrient resources are often used in UA to complem... Read More about Waste to resource: use of water treatment residual for increased maize productivity and micronutrient content.

The microbiology of rebuilding soils with water treatment residual co‐amendments: Risks and benefits (2021)
