This book is devoted to sewage sludge, its sustainable management,
and its use and implications on soil fertility and crop production.
The book traces the main chemical and biological properties of
sewage sludge, and covers topics such as sewage sludge
biostabilization and detoxification, biological and thermochemical
treatment technologies, emerging nutrient recovery technologies,
the role of microorganisms in sewage sludge management, and the
sustainable use of sewage sludge as fertilizer in agriculture. The
book offers a valuable asset for researchers, scholars and
policymakers alike.

Sustainable Soil Fertility Management mainly focuses on issues
related to soil management at the field level, which is a prime
concern for crop production that may be improved by adopting
several sustainable management practices. Soil fertility is the
capability of soil to sustain plant growth and optimize crop yield.
This can be enhanced through the use of organic and inorganic
fertilizers. Several techniques are suggested that enhance soil
fertility and crop production while minimizing environmental
impact. Soil fertility canbe further improved by incorporating
cover crops that add organic matter to thesoil, which leads to
improvedsoilstructure and promotes a healthy, fertile soil; by
using green manure or growing legumes to fix nitrogen from the air
through the process of biological nitrogen fixation; and by
microbes. Fertile soilcontains all the majornutrients necessary to
sustain basic plant nutrition (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, and
potassium), as well as othernutrientsneeded in smaller quantities
(e.g., calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc, copper, manganese,
boron, molybdenum, nickel). The book focuses on global strategies
with a possible solution for managing the fertility of soil. The
book covers soil science, soil fertility, crop production, soil
sustainability, and soil management with a modern scientific
approach that is helpful for researchers, the scientific community,
academicians, business farmers and policymakers.
