Abstract Application of organic waste influences crop uptake of Ca and Mg and soil extractability, depending on the nature of the crop and the waste. Four organic wastes: (i) digested sewage sludge (DSS), (ii) irradiated sludge (DISS), (iii) composted sludge (DICSS), and (iv) composted livestock manure (CLM) were applied for two years at rates of 10, 20, 30, and 40 Mg solid ha-1 year-1. Fertilizers N and K were applied to the control treatment (CT), as well as to the waste treatments to supplement crop growth across all treatments, so that these nutrients were not treatment variables. Calcium and Mg concentrations in the tissue of lettuce, bean pods and petunias in 1990 and two cuts of lettuce in 1991, and the CH3COONH4-extractable soil Ca and Mg were determined. Concentration of Ca and Mg in bean pods did not change to the waste application. Calcium concentration in bean pods was less than half of that in other crops. Magnesium concentration in bean pods and petunias was same, but was much lower than in lettuce. Application of DSS, in general, increased Ca concentration in the crops more than did other wastes. The extractable soil Ca was positively correlated with Ca applied with DISS (r=0.453, P〈0.05). Although only a limited amount of Ca was supplied with CLM at the rate of 10 Mg solid ha-1(40 kg Ca ha-1), Ca concentration in petunias increased significantly, then, decreased with increased Ca application (r=0.453, P〈0.05). A similar pattern with CLM was found in the extractable soil Ca. The waste application from all the sources had no influence on crop Mg concentration in 1990, possibly due to low Mg concentration in the wastes. While continuously applied DSS and DISS in 1991 linearly increased Mg concentration in both cuts of lettuce (r=0.867, P〈0.01; r=0.670, P〈0.01 and r=0.671, P〈0.01; r=0.665, P〈0.01 for first cut and second cut of lettuce with DSS and DISS application respectively), application of CLM decreased Mg concentration in first cut lettuce. The patterns of extractable soil Mg were opposite to crop Mg concentration, as the extractable soil Mg linearly increased with CLM, and decreased with the high rate of DSS application. The ability of wastes to supply N was an important factor influencing crop Σ cations (K, Ca and Mg) uptake.
