Abstract
The increasing demand for fertilizers and their rising prices has led to the search for new nutrient sources, especially in rural areas where family farming predominates. In this study, we assessed the potential of reusing sediment deposited in surface reservoirs as a soil conditioner in a semiarid region, focusing on two features: the characterization of sediment physicochemical properties at the regional scale and the effect of the substrate containing sediment on the growth and physiology of maize.
