| Abstract: | Abstract Two lysimeter experiments were conducted to evaluate the impacts of biosolids and drinking water treatment residual nanoparticles (nWTRs) on phosphorus and aluminum phytoavailability and yield of corn plants. Two consecutive experiments were conducted with different application rates of biosolids (0% and 3%) and nWTRs (0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%). The results revealed that the total biomass production (grain plus stover) increased significantly (p?p?
