Roshan Ara Shah, Sheikh Javid and Arif Inam

Abstract

Utility of sewagewastewater for the cultivation of a new hybrid crop was studied on the basis of growth, leaf NPK, net assimilation rate, yield and quality of five triticales and one locally popular dwarf wheat as check. Sewage wastewater proved better than ground waterAmong the cultivars, De!fin (Mexican) performed best followed by TL-4 19 (Indian) and wheat while Juppa 'S and Mula 'S' gave the poorest response. TL- 419 also surpassed the wheat check in grain quality.
