Organic amendments are commonly applied singularly to soils to improve physical, biological and chemical properties, but their combination may be even more advantageous than when applied alone. In this study manure was applied singularly and in combi...

The majority of the studies on nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) are conducted at a laboratory-scale, while field-scale evidence is scarce. The objective of this study was to compare the metal(loid) immobilization efficiency of selected Fe-based mate...
