Overview

Randomized pot experiment demonstrates increased biomass and soil nutrient capacity in Mombaça grass using combined industrial effluents, suggesting a viable approach for waste reuse.

Key Points

To evaluate the agronomic and soil fertility impacts of using a combined mixture of paint industry and cattle slaughterhouse wastewater for fertigating Mombaça grass.
Conducted a pot trial with 12 plants arranged in a completely randomized 5 × 2 factorial design.
Evaluated two fertigation conditions (control vs. a 1:1 mixture of paint and cattle slaughterhouse effluents) across five sampling intervals (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 months) with nutrient extraction measured over 12 months.
Effluent fertigation increased Mombaça grass productivity, achieving an average dry matter yield of 18.28 t/ha.
Treated plants exhibited enhanced extraction of nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium over 12 months alongside an increase in potential cation exchange capacity.
Soil pH showed a decreasing trend during treatment, whereas effective cation exchange capacity remained stable.
