Biosolids are waste from wastewater treatment and have a high content of organic matter and nutrients. In this study, not conventional physicochemical and biological properties of biosolids produced during different seasons of the year were evaluated. These properties are not considered in environmental regulations; however, they are of agronomic interest as indicators of quality and functionality in soils. Also, molecular analysis by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) was conducted, enzymatic analysis using the APIZYM® system was performed and two indices of functional and microbial diversity were established. The results showed that the biosolids had a high content of total organic carbon, total nitrogen, P, and K. FTIR analyses showed that chemical composition of biosolids was similar during all year. The C and N of microbial biomass demonstrated presence of active microorganisms, as well as a uniformity in its richness and abundance of species that could present a positive synergy with soil microorganisms. The enzymatic activities showed that the biosolids contained an enzymatic machinery available to promote the mineralisation of the organic matter of biosolids and could even transcend into the soil. Finally, biological properties can be used as indicators of quality and functionality of biosolids before being used as an organic amendment, especially in agricultural soils.

The effect of oat straw, green bean plants, and cellulose on the infection index and saprophytic activity of Rhizoctonia, and the effect of chitin, N-supplemented oat straw, and green cotton plants on the infection index, saprophytic activity, and soil microflora was tested. A modified method for counting Rhizoctonia-antagonistic bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi was developed. A relationship between efficiency of the amendments in decreasing infection index and in suppressing the saprophytic activity of Rhizoctonia was observed at the end of the experimental period. Decrease in infection index and saprophytic activity was accompanied by increase in counts of general and antagonistic soil microorganisms. This increase was especially pronounced in chitin-amended soil. The possible mechanism of the biological control of Rhizoctonia by chitin is discussed.
