Researchers from the BRAC Agricultural Research and Development Centre in Bangladesh have found that fecal sludge could be amended into agricultural soil with commercial fertilizer to increase crop yield. The study, published in the International Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation, and Technology, looked at how the sludge affects crop production, as well as how it increased maximum yield.
Researchers concluded that a full dosage of fecal sludge in concert with chemical fertilizer presented the greatest crop yield.
