Abstract

Introduction
Landfill leachate, a liquid resulting from waste decomposition, contains nutrients like ammoniacal-N, Na, K, and organic matter. Biological treatments effectively remove degradable organics from young landfill leachate, but aged leachate with recalcitrant organics requires combined physical-chemical and biological methods or advanced technologies, leading to higher treatment costs. Even after treatment, leachate may not meet environmental standards for release. In arid and semi-arid regions with water scarcity and low soil organic matter, leachate application to soil presents a potential solution. Soil’s properties enable it to retain and degrade pollutants while utilizing leachate’s nutrients to enhance fertility and crop growth. However, leachate composition and application rates are critical factors due to potential negative impacts from total nitrogen, salinity, and heavy metals. Alkaline pH in aged leachate reduces heavy metal contamination risk. Detailed leachate characterization before soil application is crucial to prevent environmental and functional problems. This review examines existing research on leachate irrigation’s effects on soil properties and plant nutrition, contributing to sustainable leachate management and agricultural practices in water-limited regions. Additionally, the review explores potential risks associated with leachate irrigation, including soil salinization, heavy metal accumulation, and groundwater contamination. By understanding both the benefits and drawbacks, informed decisions can be made regarding the suitability and implementation of leachate irrigation in specific contexts.
 
Materials and Methods
To carry out this study, keywords such as "Landfill leachate", "Composition of landfill leachate" and "Landfill leachate irrigation" were searched in the Web of Science, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and SID databases. For these keywords, 205 articles were found from 1989 to 2023. After the screening, quality review, and removal of repetitive and unrelated articles, 110 relevant articles were used. The main criterion for selecting articles was the effects of landfill leachate irrigation on the various properties of soil, and the nutrition of different plant species. The quality of the articles was evaluated through the Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) index, the citation, the Impact Factor, and the source normalized impact per paper (SNIP) index.
 
Results and Discussion
Landfill leachate presents a complex environmental challenge due to its potential for both soil contamination and enrichment. Leachate's xenobiotic and heavy metal components can induce soil contamination, altering the natural environment. Studies have documented reduced hydraulic conductivity, increased gas production, and altered microbial communities, ultimately impacting soil productivity.  Leachate percolation can also modify physicochemical characteristics, including reduced microbial biomass, phosphorus-fixing capacity, and pH shifts, depending on waste composition. Conversely, research highlights the potential benefits of leachate application in arid and semi-arid regions facing water scarcity and low soil organic matter. Leachate can contribute to the increased organic content, improved soil structure, and regulated pH, enhancing soil fertility and crop productivity.  The presence of macro and micro-nutrients such as Fe, Mn, N, P, and Zn further supports leachate's potential as a fertilizer. However, concerns remain regarding inhibitory chemicals in leachate and their potential detrimental effects on plant growth and yield. Studies report instances of leaf injury, reduced yield, and poor survival rates in certain plant species.  In contrast, research demonstrates the positive effects of diluted or low-strength leachate application, stimulating plant growth and enhancing yield, particularly for Brassica species and tree species like Acacia confusa, Leucaena leptocephali, and Eucalyptus tortellini. These contradictory findings underscore the intricate interplay of factors influencing leachate irrigation outcomes. Soil characteristics, plant species, leachate source and composition, application methods, and their interactions all play significant roles in determining the success or failure of leachate irrigation.
Conclusion
Landfill leachate, characterized by its elevated nitrogen and nutrient levels, presents a potential alternative water and fertilizer source for agricultural practices, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions facing water scarcity. However, responsible leachate utilization necessitates a comprehensive approach that balances maximizing benefits with minimizing environmental risks. Prior to agricultural application, detailed leachate characterization is crucial to determine its precise composition and suitability for irrigation. This includes quantifying heavy metal concentrations, salinity levels, and the presence of potentially toxic organic compounds.  Concurrent plant selection is equally important, prioritizing species with demonstrated tolerance to leachate constituents. Given the potential for salinity and heavy metal accumulation, continuous application of raw leachate, especially for sensitive crops, should be avoided. Implementing alternating irrigation regimes with conventional water sources can mitigate these risks while providing essential nutrients for plant growth.  Monitoring soil health indicators, including pH, organic matter content, and microbial activity, is vital to assess long-term impacts and implement necessary soil amendments. Determining optimal leachate application rates requires a multifaceted approach that considers plant-specific nitrogen requirements, leachate toxicity levels, and soil infiltration capacity.  This ensures adequate nutrient supply without exceeding the assimilative capacity of plants and soil, preventing environmental contamination. Further research is needed to investigate the long-term impacts of leachate irrigation on soil health, crop quality, and potential groundwater contamination. Developing standardized guidelines for leachate treatment and application, tailored to specific regional contexts and crop types, is crucial for promoting sustainable and responsible leachate utilization in agriculture.
