Title: Effects of Treated Low Quality Wastewater on Growth Parameters of Young Zard Olive (Olea. europaea L.) Cultivar in Different Irrigation Conditions
Abstract:This study was carried out to investigate the effects of using treated low quality wastewater on the vegetative growth, leaf water contents, total chlorophyll and nutrients content of three years old ...This study was carried out to investigate the effects of using treated low quality wastewater on the vegetative growth, leaf water contents, total chlorophyll and nutrients content of three years old zard olive (Olea. europaea L.) trees.The experiments were carried out for 3 years (2006 – 2009) in random complete blocks in three treatments with six repetitions. The treatments were: subrface drip irrigation with wastewater (T1), subsurface drip irrigation with wastewater in 15 cm depth (T2) and subsurface drip irrigation with wastewater in 30 cm depth (T3). Wastewater from the treatment plant of the Khoramabad, Iran was used. Results indicated that, subsurface drip irrigation with wastewater in 30 cm depth as compared to other treatments had higher growth parameters, nutrients content and had seen significant difference. Thus, drip irrigation T1 with wastewater, had lower growth parameters as compared to another treatments. In T3, plants absorb water and essential elements, better than other treatments because irrigation source is near the root zone.Read More
