Farha Iqbal and Ahmad Ashfaq

Abstract

In the present study, effect of different concentrations (50% and 100%) of wastewater along with Nitrogen supplement N75 and N100 on wheat (Triticum aestivum var. PBW-343) were studied. The experiments were conducted in rabi season and sewage wastewater was collected from the drain along the Mathura Road, Aligarh, situated 4 km away from the Aligarh University Campus. Various parameters including shoot length, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, leaf per plant, leaf area per plant and yield characteristics example ear per plant, spikelet per plant, 100 seed weight, seed yield per plant, biological yield, harvest index, total chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate were evaluated. The results indicated that the sewage can be successfully used for the growth of wheat crop.
