摘要:The objective of this study was to evaluate production in castor bean crop treated with sewage sludge (SS) subjected to different stabilization processes. The experiment was conducted in a Cambisol, with a randomized block design, in subdivided plots, with four replications and six main treatments: without fertilization; fertilization with solarized, composted, vermicomposted, or limed SS; and mineral fertilizer. The secondary treatment was soil depth or plant part. Soil and plant attributes were evaluated by comparing the treatments using the Scott–Knott test (P ≤ 0.05). The fertilization with limed SS resulted in a greater increase in soil fertility-related attributes than with the other fertilizers. The fertilizations increased the P, K, Ca, Mg, and S levels; pH; sum of bases; cation exchange capacity; and the percentage of exchangeable bases in the upper soil layer in comparison to that in the lower layer; however, in general, there was no influence on nutrient content in the plant. Regardless of the stabilization process, fertilization with SS generated castor bean seed yields ranging from 2.56 to 3.02 t ha-1, similar to that with mineral fertilization and higher than that of unfertilized soil.
