This review paper addresses the issuesto analyze the impacts of Iron and Steel slag on crop cultivation. The use of steel slag in agriculture produces not only economic but also ecological advantages. The value of silicon (Si) application for rice (Oryzasativa) has been demonstrated when soil soluble Si is low.Impact of solid waste on crop cultivation depends on the availability and quantity of different constituents like PH, Ammonia, Nitrites, Nitrates, Permanganate Value (PV), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5 or BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Turbidity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) etcpresent in the solid waste.This has also been discussed in this review paper.
