Abstract: This bulletin presents information on how sewage sludge compost can be used most effectively. It includes discussions on the properties of sewage sludge compost as a soil conditioner and fertilizer for plant growth and its use on vegetable crops, nursery crops and ornamentals, turfgrasses, field crops, forage grasses, and the reclamation of marginal lands. Recommendations based on laboratory, greenhouse, and field experiments provide methods, limitations, and rates of compost application for different management practices.
