Like fertilizer, they add slow-releasing nutrients and organic matter to improve soil quality and crop production. They also generate dust that can be dangerous and needs to be controlled. Biosolids fall into two categories: Class A biosolids have undergone intensive treatment so that they can be handled safely without restrictions or special handling precautions. They can legally be sold as fertilizer. Class B biosolids have been treated, but may have pathogens. They require special handling and may require a permit for use. One of the main advantages of using biosolids in agriculture is reduced fertilizer costs. Adding them to your fertilizer program can keep costs down without compromising crop yield. Due to their organic properties, they can also reduce surface runoff and erosion, if applied and managed correctly.
