Utilization of nutrients from wastewater by wheat
Wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L., Cultivar Siete Cerros) were grown on three textures of native Gila series soils using several wastewater, wastewater-well water, and fertilizer treatments. Various physical and chemical plant parameters were measured. The results were inconclusive in providing a t...
