This paper deals with Sludge contains recyclable and agronomical valuable macro and micronutrients. Sludge application on cropland reduces need of synthetic fertilizers; causing sustainability of agriculture Dewatered sludge can be buried underground in a sanitary landfill. It also may be spread on agricultural land in order to make use of its value as a soil conditioner and fertilizer. Since sludge may contain toxic industrial chemicals, it is not spread on land where crops are grown for human consumption. The number of pathogenic and parasitic organisms in sludge can be significantly reduced before application to land by appropriate sludge treatment and potential health hazard is further reduced by the effect of climate, soil microorganism and time after the sludge is applied to the soil.

organic wastes, sewage sludge, calcareous soil, wheat.
