Nursery Growing Media: Agronomic and Environmental Quality Assessment of Sewage Sludge-Based Compost by Barbara De Lucia, Giuseppe Cristiano, Lorenzo Vecchietti, Elvira Rea, Giovanni Russo

“…In this experiment, the use of different rates of sewage sludge compost in the preparation of growing media for potted Bougainvillea was evaluated to assess its efficiency for the replacement of peat and to quantify the environmental impact of such alternative substrates by the life cycle assessment (LCA) method. Five substrates containing increasing proportion of composted sewage sludge to peat (0%, 25%, 40%, 55%, and 70% v/v) were used, and their physicochemical properties were measured. …”
