RECYCLING OF WASTEWATER THROUGH CROP CULTIVATION

Abstract

A simple randomized pot experiment was conducted during the Rabi season on mustard (Brassica juncea L.) cv. Alankar to study the comparative effect of wastewater and groundwater with combined effect of three doses each of nitrogen and phosphorus. The fertilizer doses were N0P0, N40P30, N80P30, N40P60 and N80P60. Each dose was given with both wastewater and groundwater. A uniform basal dose of potassium @ 30kg/ha was also applied at the time of sowing. WWN80P60 proved best for most of the parameters. Chemical characteristics of wastewater were in the permissible limits of BIS for crop irrigation.
