Abstract


The purpose of this investigation is to study the effect of using the town refuse compost, and sulfur as soil amendments on some soil properties, plant growth and elemental content of sorghum under two types of irrigation water as a trial for controlling soil and plant pollution. .

The soil sample used in this study was collected from Burg El-Arab City as a calcareous soil (typic calciorthids), Town refuse compost was applied at a rates of 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12% by weight to the soil. Sulfur was applied to the soil at a rate ofO, 1, 2, 3 and 4% by weight. Two types of water with different quality were used for irrigation namely, tap water and drainage water (taken from El-Amlak drain of Abis region, Alex.).
