Soil properties after application of olive oil mill wastewater

The irrigation of soil with high doses of olive oil mill wastewater, OOW, may be advantageous. OOW spreading caused an increase of soil fertility that could allow agronomic use of the soil. After three years of irrigation only minor changes in soil organic-C, Kjeldahl-N, nitrate-N, exchangeable-K an...

Sumario:The irrigation of soil with high doses of olive oil mill wastewater, OOW, may be advantageous. OOW spreading caused an increase of soil fertility that could allow agronomic use of the soil. After three years of irrigation only minor changes in soil organic-C, Kjeldahl-N, nitrate-N, exchangeable-K and E.C. were detected below 50 cm depth. However, special attention must be paid to hydrogeological characteristics of soil in order to avoid sodium salinization of the watertable.
