NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS LEVELS IN SOILS UNDER MUNICIPAL SEWAGE EFFLUENT IRRIGATION

Abstract

Sewage irrigation continuously over a period of 25 years and 15 years significantly favoured the total, ammonical and available N content in the soil. While NH-N accu- mulation was of a higher order in sewage treated soil NO-N concentration was com paratively lower, irrespective of years of treatment In 25 years sowage irrigated soils, a three fold increase in available phosphorus was observed. The concentration of total and available phosphorus decreased with depth.
