The aim of this investigation was to determine the suitability of artificial pond wastewater (APWW) as source of manure for crop cultivation. Method Cowpea seeds were planted in polybags containing soil treated with varied amount of artificial pond wastewater. Thereafter, growth and various metabolic properties of cowpea seedlings were determined using standard procedures. Results Artificial pond wastewater treatment of soil increased significantly (P
