Plant biomass and water use efficiency of winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) under biosolid applications
2022
Fakher J. Aukour | Nabeel Bani Hani
A large quantity of biosolid is produced worldwide from treated wastewater plants, and it is considered a big challenge to eliminate it in proper and environmentally safe ways. On the other hand, a large quantity of forage needed and was imported from outside to overcome the decrease in local forage production. The objective of this study was to increase the water use efficiency for production of barley biomass as forage crops using biosolid. HIGHLIGHTS Biosolid from treated wastewater plants was introduced at different rates designed to meet nitrogen needs of the plant.; The release of biosolid from treated wastewater plants is the main source of environmental contamination.; Diverse treatments used to improve biomass production and yield of barley were summarized.; Barley biomass yield production with an increase in biosolid application rate was shown to be positive.;
