Many studies have been carried out to determine the effects of wastewater use on various soil characteristics. Particular emphasis has been placed by some authors on long-term variations in soil physical and chemical properties [62, 63]. The physical and mechanical properties of the soil (such as porosity, stability of aggregates, water retention, ...
The soil microbiota is an essential component of the soil system, interacting with inorganic components, the atmosphere, soil organic matter, and with other organisms of the soil ecosystem, including plant crops. Microorganisms provide many functions in the soil ecosystems that are essential for the quality and productivity of agricultural products...
The quality of water used for crop irrigation can impose a major constraint to agricultural productivity because of its influence on soil fertility and crop yields. Therefore, the knowledge of the effects of the water quality used for irrigation on crop yield response is critical to the understanding of necessary management criteria for long-term p...

May 24, 2022 · Marginal quality water and industrial effluent used in crop production should be treated prior to application in crop field. Hence, safe reuse of wastewater for cultivation of food material is necessary to fulfil the demands of growing population across the globe in the changing scenario of climate.
Jun 20, 2017 · Indeed, wastewater reuse has been proven to improve crop yield [37,41,42,43,44] and result in the reduced use of fertilizers in agriculture [45,46,47,48]. Therefore, eutrophication conditions in water bodies would be reduced, as would the expenses for agrochemicals used by farmers [3,49].
