Özet

Soil physical properties (bulk density, particle density, total porosity, pore size distribution and aggregate stability) and hydraulic properties (water retention and infiltration) may be affected significantly from wastewater irrigation. In addition, environmental conditions may change the magnitude of these effects. Therefore, we examined the effects of irrigation with simpler-reclaimed wastewaters on the certain soil properties under cauliflower and red cabbage planting with two-year study in a semi-arid region with a cool climate. W1 (filtered wastewater), W2 (filtered and aerated wastewater) and W1 -FW (mix of filtered wastewater with the freshwater at the ratio of 1:1 as volume) were the wastewater treatments. Control plots were irrigated with freshwater (FW) provided from groundwater.
