| Abstract |
A field experiment was conducted in 1997 on a sandy soil at Abu-Rawash far m, Giza Governorate, Egypt to investigate the effect of irrigation with the treated wastewater as a source of irrigation and plant nutrients at different irrigation intervals 5, 7 and 10 days on cotton yield. The results indicated that, the residual NO3-N distribution in soil profile was affected by the N-concentration in irrigation water and the irrigation intervals following this order: 5>7>10-days. The amount of soluble nitrogen in irrigation water is sufficient for cotton growth (about 400 kg/ha) which no addition of N-fertilizers are needed for high yield. The best treatment was to irrigate the cotton crop at 7-days intervals under surface irrigation system in virgin sandy soil. Therefore, using treated wastewater for irrigation of cotton crop as a crop not for human consumption in sandy soil is recommended
