Urban raw or treated wastewater drip-irrigation for lettuce and leek crops: chemical and microbiological properties of soil and plants
Résumé
The aim of this study is to evaluate chemical and microbiological properties of soil, as well as crop yields, when lettuces and leeks are irrigated by raw wastewater (RW), treated wastewater (TW) and drinking water (DW) while in a greenhouse. After 2 lettuce and 1 leek growth cycles, the soil analyses showed an increase of electrical conductivity (EC), Cl, Na and nitrate-nitrogen concentration (NO3-N) after irrigation with TW and particularly with RW compared to DW. The fresh weight of both crop yields was significantly higher with TW compared to DW and RW irrigation. The decay of fecal indicators (E. coli, Enterococcus sp., bacteriophages) in soils was slow, as shown by cultivation-based techniques and qPCR. Fecal indicators were found in plants irrigated with raw wastewater.
