e0“The medium biosolids rate had significantly lower bulk density (1.05 vs. 1.22 g kg) and greater total C (0-10-cm depth) (16.9 vs. 9.4 g kg), mineralizable N (156 vs. 52 mg kg), and extractable P (114 vs. 16 mg kg) than anhydrous NH”

- Intervention effect Medium and high biosolids rates increased wheat grain yield relative to anhydrous NH.
- Intervention effect Medium and high biosolids rates increased wheat grain protein relative to anhydrous NH.
- Intervention effect The medium biosolids rate lowered soil bulk density relative to anhydrous NH.
- Intervention effect The medium biosolids rate increased soil total C relative to anhydrous NH.
- Intervention effect The medium biosolids rate increased soil mineralizable N relative to anhydrous NH.
- Intervention effect Biosolids raised P index vulnerability from low to medium.
- Observation Soil NO-N was nearly always below 10 mg N per kg soil.
- Intervention effect Medium and high biosolids rates increased bacteria/fungi ratios, Gram-negative bacteria and anaerobic bacteria markers.
- Recommendation The authors regard biosolids as an agronomically and environmentally sound practice for wheat-fallow systems.
