Abstract

Irrigation with sewage water for 18 months to eucalyptus (Eucalyptus hybrid) field significantly decreased pH and electrolyte conductivity (except in daily-irrigated block in which it tended to increase) in the surface soil layers. On the other hand, application of sewage water significantly increased organic carbon, available N, P, K, micronutrients, Ca and Mg. Soluble sodium content decreased in the soil surface (0–0.30 m) layer.
