Response of treated domestic effluent irrigation on microbiological characteristics of bean grown in protected environment
The use of domestic wastewater treated for irrigation may become a viable alternative for regions facing water scarcity. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the microbiological quality of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) BRS-Pontalcultivar submitted to different irrigation depths with treated domestic effluent. The irrigation depths were obtained according to 50, 75, 100 and 125% of the crop evapotranspiration and the concentrations corresponded to 0, 50 and 100% of treated domestic effluent.
