Purpose: Floral waste, as a frequently overlooked resource for sustainable agriculture, can be harnessed to produce nutrient-rich soil amendments resulting in an enhancement of soil fertility and augment crop yields. This in turn can foster a circular economy, minimizing waste disposal and promoting a green economy. This study was aimed to explore the potential of […]
Purpose Upsurge of oil-mill industries and associated generation of wastewaters constitutes a huge environmental problem in Nigeria. As an option to reckless disposal, such effluents are often fermented and used as biofertilizers for nutrient-poor soils, but the potential of cottonseed oilmill effluent (COME) and agronomic evaluation of such potential has yet been studied. Methods A […]
Purpose Olive mill waste sludge (OMWS) is a solid by-product resulting from olive oil extraction, OMWS is usually left decanting in landfills causing environmental pollution and a significant loss of recyclable organic resources. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of producing an organic amendment through treating OMWS with solar drying (SDy), which is a […]

Purpose This study sought to investigate the effects of organic amendments on the degradation of hydrocarbons and vegetative properties of Zea mays grown in crude oil-contaminated wetland soils of the Niger Delta, Nigeria. Methods Two soil types were investigated, namely, fadama soil (oxisol) and swamp forest soil (utisol). For each soil type, 48 treatment cells […]
