Agronomic Viability of Landfill Leachate-derived, Humic Extract as an Agricultural Fertilizer

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the agronomic viability of a humic extract (HE), obtained from landfill leachate, as an agricultural fertilizer. A sugarcane crop ( Saccharum sp., var. RB867515’) was grown in pots in a greenhouse using samples of an Argissolo...

Land use impairs soil quality in a Histosol: a comparative study between conventional cultivation and secondary forest

Histosols provide key ecosystem services, including carbon storage, hydrological regulation, and biodiversity support; however, the effects of conventional agriculture on their quality in tropical regions remain poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated the effects of differ...
