The effect of Yazd wastewater on forage quantity and quality of Medicago sativa and Atriplex lentiformis

Municipal wastewater is a major source of water in arid regions. The study on the production of forage crops using wastewater is very important. In this study examines the effects of municipal wastewater Yazd on forage quantity and quality of Medicago sativa (alfalfa) and Atriplex lentiformis. This experiment include a completely randomized design with 3 irrigation treatments (100% drinking water, 50% drinking water 50% wastewater, 100% wastewater) and two separate species in 10 replicates over a period of 4 month. The results showed that 100% wastewater treatment increased leaf fresh and dry weight to stem ratio of alfalfa and for Atriplex lentiformis increased leaf fresh weight to stem ratio (05/0> p)..... .
