Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
The effect of irrigation with mixed sewage water from Makkah City treatment plant with normal water on the dry forage yield of Sudan grass and its components and its microbiological implications on the crop during 2016 season. Complete Design with three Replications was used. The water mixture treatments are (100% normal water + zero sewage water, 75% normal water + 25% sewage water, 50% ordinary water + 50% sewage, 25% normal water + 75% sewage, 0% normal water + 100% sewage). There were three replicates, irrigation treatments were represented by 5 plots (5 x 5 m). Irrigation with 75% treated sewage water + 25% normal water and 50% treated sewage water + 50% normal water significantly enhanced and increased the dry forage yield of Sudan grass crop compared to other treatments, with no significant difference between them followed by 100% treated sewage water. Irrigation with 100% normal water gave the least means of the dry forage yield of Sudan grass. It is recommended to irrigate crops with 75% treated sewage water + 25% normal water and 50% treated sewage water + 50% normal water
