The spreading and incorporation of wastes into the soil to initiate biological treatment.

OBS

In general, "land farming" refers to the repeated application of wastes to the soil surface, whereas "land spreading" and "land treatment" are often used interchangeably to describe the one-time application of wastes to the soil surface. Some practitioners do not follow the same terminology convention, and may interchange all three terms. Readers should focus on the technologies rather than on the specific names given to each process.
