Utilization of Waterworks Sludge as a New Cultivation Substrate

Abstract:

The effects of the waterworks sludge as cultivation substrate on the properties of substrate and the growth of potted flowers—Globe amaranth were studied. The results showed that the waterworks sludge as cultivation substrate could promote the growth of Globe amaranth in height, leaf length, fresh weight, and the TN, TP, TK content in the stems and leaves. Compared to the control groups without waterworks sludge, waterworks sludge could improve the physicochemical properties of the substrate; promote the nitrogen absorption for the Globe amaranth, and improve its ornamental value. So, waterworks sludge had certain advantage as a new cultivation substrate.
