The effect of long-term irrigation using wastewater on heavy metal contents of soils under vegetables in Harare, Zimbabwe
TL;DR: The magnitude of contamination, regulatory compliance and annual loadings of soils with copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb) were determined at three sites in Harare where wastewater was used to irrigate vegetable gardens for at least 10 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake of heavy metals by vegetables irrigated using wastewater and the subsequent risks in Harare, Zimbabwe
TL;DR: In this paper, contamination of leafy vegetables ( Brassica species) by copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and chromium (Cr), and the subsequent human exposure risks, were determined at two sites in the City of Harare, where wastewater is used for irrigating vegetables.

TL;DR: In this article, Nitrous oxide emissions from a network of agri- cultural experiments in Europe were used to explore the rel- ative importance of site and management controls of emis- sions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of organic and mineral fertilizer nitrogen on greenhouse gas emissions and plant-captured carbon under maize cropping in Zimbabwe
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured fluxes of N2O, CO2 and CH4 from soil under maize (Zea mays L.) grown using 0, 60 and 120 kg N hm-2 as NH4NO3-N and composted manure-N in three seasons on clay (Chromic luvisol) and sandy loam (Haplic lixisol) soils in Zimbabwe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative short-term effects of sewage sludge and its biochar on soil properties, maize growth and uptake of nutrients on a tropical clay soil in Zimbabwe
TL;DR: In this article, a pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of sewage sludge and its biochar on soil chemical properties, maize nutrient and heavy metal uptake, growth and biomass partitioning on a tropical clayey soil.
