Resumen
Biosolid application to soil may be a supply of nutrients and micronutrients but it may also accumulate toxic compounds which would
be absorbed by crops and through them be incorporated to the trophic chain.
The present study deals with the effect of biosolid application on Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, and Zn in agricultural soils. The procedure used is
sequential extraction so that the availability of those metals may be estimated and related to their bioavailability as determined through
two indicator plants grown in greenhouse: ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and red clover (Trifolium pratense). Results showed that biosolid
application to soil increased total Cu and Zn content. Sequential extraction showed that the more labile Zn fractions increased after biosolid
application to soil. This was confirmed when assessing the total content of this metal in shoot and root of the plants under study,
since a higher content was found in plant tissues, while no significant differences were found for Cu, Cr, Ni, and Pb.
