EGYPT is recently facing the challenge of water scarcity due to the increase in population and limitation of water resources. Therefore, researchers should investigate the usage of nonconventional water sources, for example, greywater to increase water budget which is available to overcome this problem. Since quantities of water are consumed in the ablution process, and this water is less polluted, this research aims to collect greywater and study its quality for reuse in irrigating zucchini plants. Three treatments were carried out for irrigation: 1- Tap water (TP: control), 2- Greywater (GW), and 3- Magnetized greywater (MGW). To investigate how well these treatments worked, some measurements were made on zucchini plants and soil properties. The tenth (10th) and twentieth (20th) day following the agriculture produced the maximum chlorophyll a (Chl-a), chlorophyll b (Chl-b) and carotenoid (Car) levels as compared to control when plants were watered with MGW. Additionally, the activity of antioxidant enzymes raised when GW is used, whereas it diminishes when MGW is used, compared to control on the 10th and 20th day after agriculture .The outcomes data demonstrated that MGW irrigation of zucchini plants produced the greatest NPK values. Among different irrigation water used (TP, GW and MGW), MGW recorded the most significant values of soil chemical properties as well as seed germination. The data showed that the EC value of soil irrigated by MGW significantly decreased compared to the EC values of the soil before irrigation or soil irrigated by GW or TP. Also, the germination percentage was recorded 100% after 12 days with MAW compared with TP and AW which recorded 80% for the two qualities, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
