Effect of reclaimed sewage on the paddy rice culture was examined by field experiment for two consecutive years. The domestic sewage was treated by the constructed wetland, and the effluent of the treatment wetland was used for irrigation water. Growth components and yields were compared against the CONTROL plot where conventional fertilization was applied.
In general, addition of the reclaimed sewage irrigation which contained high nutrient concentration didn’t affect paddy rice culture adversely, and even better growth and more yields were observed. Overall, reclaimed sewage irrigation was thought to be one of practical alternatives for irrigation water.
