Abstract |
Several citrus scion-rootstock combinations were grown in greenhouses for 3 years and irrigated with treated waste water from two citrus processing plants in central Florida. No harmful effects were observed from the use of treated citrus waste water. Supplemental fertilization was necessary to sustain the trees because treated citrus waste water was low in nutrients. Observations of young and mature citrus trees irrigated with untreated citrus waste water under field conditions indicated that it is feasible to grow citrus with citrus waste water. Both quantity and quality of the waste should be considered in the design and management of irrigation systems for disposal of waste water. Soil in the citrus grove served as a filtering system to waste water. |
