Abstract

The paper reports results of treated wastewater reuse field experiments carried out in Apulia (SouthernItaly). Fennel and lettuce were irrigated with four different water sources: three reclaimed wastewaterstreams, obtained by applying different treatment schemes to the same municipal wastewater, and aconventional source (well water). Differences between the three effluents were significant in terms ofsuspended solids and faecal indicators. Both lettuce and fennel yields were enhanced by the high contentof nutrients in the effluent of one of the treatment plants, which had been operated for partial nitrogenremoval. In particular, fennel productivity was enhanced by replacing chemical fertirrigation with thesupply of nutrients contained in the irrigation water.
