Quality Bio-indicators development - Buenos Aires southwest soil with agroindustrial Wastes amendments

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to summarize the progress of the doctoral thesis " Quality Bio-indicators development - Buenos Aires southwest soil with agroindustrial Wastesamendments, it is carried out within the GEAQB Research Group (Group of Study Environment, Chemistry and Biology) at the National Technological University Bahía Blanca Regional Faculty. The objective of the thesis is to develop environmental quality indicators for soils of the southwest of Buenos Aires with amendment of organic residues from intensive poultry production. It was proposed to compare the biological indicators in soil with organic amendment, with and without treatment, in contrast to natural soil in a way that was to be able to obtain correlations between different indicators, such as a methodology for monitoring and control of soil quality, including enzymes activities, as well as the relationships between these activities and typical physical-chemical control parameters. The partial results of soil characterization, amendments, techniques for determining biochemical parameters determination and preliminary measurements are shown in this work.
