A field experiment was designed to determine whether or not municipal sewage sludge would be effective for fertilization for chlorotic and checked plantations of western hemlock (Tsugaheterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.), Pacific silver fir (Abiesamabilis (Dougl.) Forbes), and western red cedar (Thujaplicata Donn ex. D. Don) already shown to be responsive to conventional nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization. Sewage sludge was applied at an estimated rate of 500 kg N/ha and 133 kg P/ha and ammonium nitrate and triple superphosphate were applied at 225 kg N/ha and 75 kg P/ha to plots planted 8 years earlier on a cutover of old-growth cedar–hemlock forest. Current-year leader growth and foliar vector analyses showed that the trees responded to both treatments during the first growing season with a doubling or tripling of growth rates and improved nutrition. The apparent problem of insufficient sulphur following nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization was not seen in trees treated with sludge. There were no apparent problems in micronutrient supply in these plantations. The extensive area of checked plantations on northern Vancouver Island present an opportunity for the disposal of sewage sludge.

Controlled Release Fertilizers

A hybrid poplar plantation on eastern Vancouver Island was fertilized at planting with two readily soluble and four controlled-release fertilizers (CRF). The CRFs varied in their duration of release and in their ratio of N to other elements. Fertilizers were applied at rates supplying 0, 13.5, or 27 g N/tree (N0, N13.5, and N27 treatments). The plantation contained one Populus trichocarpa Torr. & Gray × Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh. (T × D) and one P. trichocarpa × Populus maximowiczii A. Henry (T × M) hybrid. The T × D hybrid was consistently larger than the T × M hybrid. After 1 year, stem volumes were 24 and 35% greater in the N13.5 and N27 treatments, respectively; after 3 years, volumes were 9 and 21% greater, respectively. Volumes of trees fertilized with readily soluble fertilizers did not differ from those fertilized with CRFs, but volumes may have differed between CRFs. Growth of poplar on this site appeared to be limited by multiple elemental deficiencies, particularly of N, P, and S.

<p><span>A utilização da água vem gerando alguns conflitos devido o aumento da escassez hídrica em todo o mundo, os setores de maior consumo são a agricultura responde por 70%, o setor industrial 22% e 8% corresponde ao uso doméstico. Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar os efeitos causados pelas doses de nitrogênio e fósforo e a irrigação com água de reúso doméstica pós-tratada em filtro de areia com fluxo intermitente durante o crescimento inicial da berinjeleira na região semiárida paraibana. O experimento foi realizado em ambiente protegido, no Centro de Ciências e Tecnologia Agroalimentar (CCTA/UFCG), Campus de Pombal – PB, e cujos tratamentos resultaram na combinação de dois fatores: quatro doses de adubação nitrogenada (N<sub>1 </sub>- 3,55; N<sub>2</sub> - 6,2; N<sub>3</sub> - 8,9; N<sub>4</sub> - 11,55 g de N/vaso) e quatro doses de adubação fosfatada (P<sub>1</sub> - 15,28; P<sub>2</sub> - 26,74; P<sub>3</sub> - 38,2; P<sub>4</sub> - 49,66 g de P/vaso) correspondendo respectivamente a 40; 70; 100; 130% conforme indicação de adubação para a cultura da berinjela quando cultivada em vasos, irrigada com água de reúso pós-tratada em filtro de areia intermitente (AR). O delineamento experimental adotado foi o de blocos inteiramente casualizados, com os tratamentos arranjados em esquema fatorial 4 x 4, com quatro repetições. Conclui-se que a prática da irrigação com água de reúso surge como uma fonte hídrica e nutricional para a cultura da berinjela, nas condições edafoclimáticas do semiárido; Doses de 3,55 g de N e 15,28 g de P por planta quando se utiliza água de reúso na irrigação de plantas de berinjela são suficientes para suprir as necessidades nutricionais da cultura. A massa fresca da folha de plantas de berinjela decresceu linearmente com o incremento das doses de N aplicadas. A produção de massa fresca e seca da parte aérea de plantas de berinjela irrigadas com água de reúso com 40% da adubação com N e P não diferiu das plantas que receberam 100% indicação de N e P.</span></p><p align="center"><strong><em>Eggplant early growth under nitrogen and phosphate and irrigated with reuse water</em></strong></p><p><strong>ABSTRACT - </strong>The use of water has generated some conflicts due to increasing water scarcity around the world, the largest consumer sectors are agriculture accounts for 70 %, the industrial sector 22% and 8% corresponds to the household. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects caused by nitrogen and phosphorus and irrigation with reclaimed water post- treated domestic sand filter with intermittent flow during the initial growth of eggplant in Paraíba semi-arid region.The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, in the Science and Technology Center Agrifood (CCTA / UFCG), Campus de Pombal - PB, and the treatments resulted in the combination of two factors: four doses of nitrogen (N1 - 3.55; N2 - 6.2; N3 - 8.9; N4 - 11.55 g N / pot) and four doses of phosphorus fertilization (P1 - 15.28; P2 - 26.74; P3 - 38.2; P4 - 49 66 g P / pot) corresponding respectively to 40; 70; 100; 130% as fertilizer indication for eggplants when grown in pots irrigated with treated wastewater post-intermittent sand filter (AR). The experimental design was a completely randomized design, with treatments arranged in a factorial 4 x 4, with four replications. We conclude it the practice of irrigation with reclaimed water emerges as a water and nutrient source for the eggplant crop, soil and weather conditions in the semiarid; Doses of 3,55 g of N and 15,28 g P per plant when using reclaimed water in irrigation eggplants are sufficient to meet the nutritional needs of the crop. The fresh weight of eggplants sheet decreased linearly with increasing N rates. The production shoot fresh and dry mass of eggplant plants irrigated with reclaimed water to 40% of fertilization with N and P did not differ from plants that received 100 % of N and P indication.</p><p><span><br /></span></p>

Spring wheat, with fertilizer applied in the drill rows, was grown in wild-oat-infested stubble on a Shallow Lethbride loam soil for 4 years, Phosphorus had no measurable effect on the height, straw weight, seed yield, or number of wild-oat plants. In contrast, nitrogen increased the number of seed-bearing stems, plant height, straw weight, and seed yield, but did not change the wild-oat stand. Wheat yields were increased by nitrogen and further increased by the addition of phosphorus at the rate of 20 pounds of P2O5 per acre in 3 of the 4 years. Measured bushel weight of the wheat increased with nitrogen fertilizer additions and was further increased by phosphorus except at the high rate of both materials. Fertilizer applications, under conditions similar to those encountered in this test, may be useful for increasing wheat production, but only at the expense of producing increased quantities of wild-oat seed.

An experiment was conducted in field condition to study the effect of nitrogen-phosphorus fertilization on growth, yield and nutrient content of cabbage. The experiment was laid out in randomize block design with three replications. The yield and yield components were maximized by N3P2 fertilizer treatment. Nutrient content of cabbage varied with fertilizer treatment. The maximum amount of reducing sugar, ascorbic acid, phosphorus were found at the highest rate of N - P fertilization whereas accumulation of titrable acidity, iron, calcium were maximum at the rate of N2P2 treatment. However pH, ash content were more or less same throughout the experiment. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 41(1-2), 41-46, 2006
