ABSTRACT
Field experiment was conducted to the response of treated sewage effluent on soil properties and vegetable crops. DTPA extractable micronutrient status of soil was increased under irrigated with treated sewage water by 1.19 and 1.09 times higher in Zn and Fe than soil irrigated with well water. However, Mn showed depleted by 0.96 times than the soil irrigated with well water. Value of Ni and Pb recorded the highest than the Co and Cd in soil as influenced by treated sewage water. The accumulation of the highest Cd content in leaves 0.241 mg kg-1, Ni 6.9 mg kg-1, Co 0.063 mg kg-1, respectively was observed in cabbage, spinach and aster and Pb 26.14 mg kg-1 in radish with the application of treated sewage water. Available N and P in soil with treated sewage water resulted slightly increased over soil irrigated with well water .Yield of radish resulted an increase by 8.38% with the use of treated sewage water.
