Abstract/Contents: | "A field study was conducted to determine the benefits of land application of composted municipal sewage sludge to white pine (Pinus strobus L.) and hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides spp., P. angulata X P. trichocarpa) growth. Composted municipal sewage sludge was disked into a Chester silt loam (Typic Hapludult-fine loam, mixed, mexic) at rates of 0, 150, and 300 dry Mg/ha. White pine seedlings and hybrid poplar cuttings were grown for 3 y on the plots which had been seeded with 'Kentucky 31' tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). White pine growth was not affected by the compost treatments. Poplar growth, however, increased as a result of the compost application. After 3 y, the average hybrid poplar heights were 233, 443, and 483 cm for the 0, 150, and 300 Mg/ha treatments, respectively. The height differences between the control and the compost-amended plots were due to a faster growth rate and a longer growth period of the trees on the compost-amended plots. Hybrid poplars grown on the compost-amended soil had higher concentrations of N and K and a lower concentration of Zn in the leaves than the control. No consistent differences in elemental composition of the white pine needles were apparent." |
