Land application

Land application is a process where certain waste materials, like treated sewage sludge (biosolids) or agricultural byproducts, are spread or sprayed onto land. This practice helps recycle nutrients and organic matter back into the soil, improving its health and fertility. It is carefully managed to ensure environmental safety, preventing contamination of water sources. Land application is used in agriculture and waste management to sustainably reuse materials, reduce waste sent to landfills, and enhance soil quality for future crop production. Proper regulation and treatment are essential to protect ecosystems and public health.
