Presentation transcript:

Results Irrigation with reclaimed water increased mineral residues in the soil profile, altered leaf mineral concentration and fruit quality, and promoted better tree performance and more weed growth relative to irrigation with well water. Higher accumulation of nitrogen (N), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) in soils irrigated with reclaimed water were not significantly reflected in leaf mineral status. Although leaf sodium (Na), chloride (Cl), and boron (B) concentrations were noticeably higher in reclaimed water treatments than in those of well water, they are still far below the toxicity levels. Conclusions Overall, blocks irrigated with reclaimed water had trees with denser canopy, greener leaves, and heavier bloom and fruit crop than the control blocks. Weed growth was generally rated higher in blocks watered with reclaimed water than that in well watered blocks. This highly treated wastewater in central Florida has been found to be a very safe and a good option for increasing water supplies, but not a significant source of plant nutrients to citrus trees.

Disposal of sewage wastewater is also a problem of increasing importance throughout the world. Both the need to conserve water and to safely and economically dispose of wastewater make the use of treated wastewater in agriculture a feasible option. Objective To investigate the long ‑ term use of reclaimed wastewater for citrus irrigation. Experimental Design Thirty to thirty ‑ two sites were selected in citrus groves located in Lake and Orange Counties in Florida. Eight to nine of these sites were located in groves where well water was used for irrigation. These sites were regarded as controls. The effects of irrigation with reclaimed wastewater and well water on soil water content, soil chemical analysis, leaf mineral status, fruit quality, and visual appearance of citrus trees were compared.
