| Abstract | ||
| The effect of different concentrations of sewage water (0, 50 and 100%) on growth performance and biomass of Pinus brutia Ten. growing under nursery conditions were examined. Biomass (g/plant)and high of plant (cm) the Pinus brutia seedlings treated with sewage water (50%) showed an increase over the control. The sewage water concentration at 50% concentration was suitable for growth of Pinus brutia seedlings. The physico-chemical of different concentration water samples showed that Electrical conductivity and total dissolved solid ranged between 425-690 µs/cm and 277-236 mg/L respectively. pH varied between 7.89-8.04. Alkalinity ranged from 204-277 mg CaCO3/L. Total hardness is ranged between 283-288mg CaCO3/L. Calcium and magnesium concentrations varied from 46 to 70 mg/l and 13.12 to 16.76 mg/l respectively. Potassium was ranged between 1.1- 4.9 mg/L and sodium ranged between 7-33 mg/L. Nitrate ranged from 5 to 23 mg/L. The results of heavy metal concentrations were ordered as follow: for %100 sewage water were Fe > Zn > Ni > Mn > Cu > Cd, and for %50 sewage water were Fe > Ni > Zn > Mn > Cu > Cd. While Fe > Mn > Ni > Zn > Cu > Cd for tap water. | ||
