Soil conditioner effects on soil erosion, soil structure and crop performance
Previous work has suggested that soil conditioners can provide environmentally beneficial aids to agriculture and soil conservation. To investigate this further, studies were carried out on soil conditioner effects on soil erosion, soil structure and crop performance. The main soil conditioner …

Evaluation of the potential of Zeolite as a soil conditioner for two Zambian Soils
… holding capacities characterise highly weathered soils, thereby limiting soil productivity. This study was conducted to investigate the potential of improving soil productivity through amending soils with zeolite to effect improvements on moisture and cation retention capacities. Two experiments …

Geochemical changes, plant growth and ecosystem recovery in soils after high temperature remediation
… treatments generate elevated temperatures in the soil (40-1200°C) that may impact its quality, particularly its ability to support plant growth and microbial activity. This thesis demonstrates the effects of such heating on soil properties, the impact on plant and microbial systems, and potential …

Algal sludge disposal in waste-water reclamation
… investigated: (1) to evaluate its potential as a soil conditioner; (2) to determine whether a stabilization lagoon could be used for algal sludge disposal; and (3) to determine whether or not sludge recirculation would reflect a chemical savings. The experimental lagoons and treatment facility, …
