Three garden crops were tested for their response to two levels of high temperature, anaerobically digested, lime-amended sludge and one level of fertilizer. Corn, tomato, and beet yield indicated that both levels of sludge gave yields greater than control plots but below those obtained using fertilizer. The reduced yield on sludge-amended soils was probably due to a potassium deficiency. Microbiological examinations of the amended sludge for bacterial and viral pathogens were negative. Transmission of soil bacteria by splashing onto corn stalks was confirmed. (6 graphs, 2 photos, 20 references, 5 tables)
