Notwithstanding their beneficial characteristics,the agricultural utilization of organic wastes may have an adverse effect on soil properties if used improperly. To evaluate proper use, a laboratory study was conducted to investigate the effects of different sewage sludge application doses (0, 2, 4, and 8% weight/weight) on the consistency limits and the compaction characteristics of three differently textured soils. The application of sewage sludge significantly improved the consistency limits and reduced the compactibility. The efficacy depended on the amount applied. The rates of increase in liquid limit (LL) values at 8% sewage sludge were 58.7% for sandy loam, 43.4% for loam, and 16.2% for clay soil. As the application dose increased, the optimum moisture content (OMC) values increased and the maximum dry bulk density (MBD) values decreased. The highest application dose decreased the MBD by 9.5% in sandy loam, by 6.5% in loam, and by 13.7% in clay-textured soils. The rates of increase in OMC values were 73.4%, 53.8%, and 27.1%, for sandy loam, loam, and clay, respectively.  The results presented in this study clearly indicated that the application of sewage sludge made the soils more resistant to mechanical forces, since the increase in the proportion of OMC over LL and PL implied that the soil was easier to till at higher moisture contents without any deformation, which also resulted in a higher workable range.
