An experiment was conducted to evaluate the use of sewage waste water on morphophysiology and yield of two leafy vegetables, spinach (Spinacia oleracea) and methi (Trigonella foenum-graecum). Sewage waste water application increased chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, photosynthetic water use efficiency, growth and yield. Physico-chemical characteristics of sewage waste water met the irrigation quality requirements and were within the permissible limits.
