  Growth, crop yields and nutrient uptake of Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] irrigated with different mix proportions of stream water to partially treated sewage effluent (0:100; 25:75; 50:50; 75:25; 100:0) under furrow system were determined. There were four replicates of each treatment and the 100% stream water served as the control, the stream water has little effluent discharges along the downstream. The 75% treated sewage effluent gave the highest fruit yield of 10.5 t/ha while the 100% stream water gave the lowest fruit yield of 5.40 t/ha. The highest dry matter yield of 9.8 t/ha was obtained with 100% partially treated sewage. There was no significant difference among the treatments in the number of leaves and plant heights. The 100% partially treated sewage effluent however gave significantly (P<0.05) higher leave area index and plant girth than other treat.. Read More»
