Estimating Plant-Available Nitrogen in Biosolids

Abstract

Results in practical guidance for biosolids managers and regulatory agencies in using biosolids to benefit crop growth, and in minimizing the potential for nitrogen to migrate to groundwater or cause surface water pollution.

Originally funded as WERF project 97-REM-3.
