| description | Biogas slurry (BS) is an attractive agricultural waste resource which can be used to regulate soil microbial communities, enhance nutrient absorption capacity of crops, promote plant–soil interactions, and consequently, increase crop productivity. Presently, BS discharge is not environmentally friendly. It is therefore necessary to explore alternative efficient utilization of BS. The use of BS as fertilizer meets the requirements for sustainable and eco-friendly development in agriculture, but this has not been fully actualized. Hence, this paper reviewed the advantages of using BS in farmland as soil fertilization for the improvement of crop production and quality. This review also highlighted the potential of BS for the prevention and control of soil acidification, salinization, as well as improve microbial structure and soil enzyme activity. Moreover, this review reports on the current techniques, application methods, relevant engineering measures, environmental benefits, challenges, and prospects associated with BS utilization. Lastly, additional research efforts require for optimal utilization of BS in farmlands were elucidated. |
