| Abstract | Organic wastes such as sewage sludges contain copper (Cu). Increased attention to environmental protection requires that wastes be treated with pathogen-eliminating procedures before application to farmland. It is not clear, however, if such procedures affect the plant availability of Cu in the wastes. This 2-year field research investigated the effect of irradiation and composting on Cu availability in sludges and manure using a yield control approach. Four organic wastes [digested and dewatered (DSS), digested and irradiated (DISS), composted (DICSS) sewage sludges and composted livestock manure (CLM)] were applied at four rates (10, 20, 30 and 40 t solid ha$^{−1}$ year$^{−1}$) with supplemented N and K fertilizers. A control treatment (CT) received N and K fertilizers only. Beans, lettuce and petunias were grown in first year and lettuce were harvested twice in second year. Beans appeared to have a strong ability to absorb Cu compared with the other test crops. In general, crop Cu concentration responses to Cu applied in DSS and DISS were well described by quadratic equations. Tested by a paired t-test, Cu concentration in bean pods was higher in DISS than in DSS treatment, indicating that irradiation increased phytoavailability of Cu. However, the parabolic response of crop Cu to Cu applied in DISS, suggesting that the increases were confined to the lower rates of DISS. Copper applied in DICSS did not increase Cu concentration in any of the test crops. At a given level of applied Cu, crop Cu tended to be lower in DICSS than in DSS or DISS treatment. Sludge composting depressed phytoavailability of Cu. Copper concentration in CLM was much lower than in sludges and sludge composts, but application of CLM increased Cu concentration in bean pods. The pattens of Cu concentration in the two cuts of lettuce in 1991 to Cu applied in CLM were similar, where low rates of CLM application slightly reduced Cu concentration, then the Cu concentration increased with increased rates. The dynamics of available Cu supply were different in the sludge composts and manure composts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
