Effects of fertigation with untreated and treated leachates from municipal solid waste on the microelement status and biometric parameters of viola × wittrockiana
Landfill leachate can release pollutants into the environment. Nevertheless, it can be treated using a phytodepuration system via constructed wetlands to reduce contaminants. Moreover, this leachate can also increase the availability of macro and micronutrients in soil and water. In this trial, the reuse of untreated and treated wastewater from municipal solid waste (MSW) for fertigation was assessed. Plantlets of Viola × wittrockiana (pansy) were grown in a greenhouse and five fertigation treatments were applied: W9.0 (pure wastewater, EC 9.0 dS m−1), W4.5 (diluted wastewater, EC 4.5 dS m−1 ), DW4.5 (depurated wastewater, EC 4.5 dS m−1 ), PW4.5 (phytodepurated wastewater, EC 4.5 dS m−1 ), and T (tap water, control, EC 1.5 dS m−1 ). The treatment with untreated wastewater had a negative effect on plant dry weight, leaf size, specific leaf area, water content, and the number of closed and open flowers, due to the high concentration of SO42− in the fertigation water. It also reduced the content of Cu, Mn, Fe, and Zn with respect to the control, because of the dry biomass diminution. Conversely, fertigation with phytodepurated wastewater enhanced root and shoot dry weight, water content, and the number of closed and open flowers. Cu and Mn contents in flowers surpassed the content detected in plants fertigated with untreated leachates. These findings demonstrate that phytodepurated wastewater obtained from MSW can be employed for the fertigation of this species
RESPONSE TO SODIUM CHLORIDE SALINITY AND EXCESS BORON IN GREENHOUSE TOMATO GROWN IN SEMI-CLOSED SUBSTRATE CULTURE IN A MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE
The effects of sodium chloride (NaCl) salinity and boron (B) toxicity were investigated in greenhouse tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants grown in closed soilless culture under the typical climatic conditions occurring in the Mediterranean regions. The experiment was conducted under semi-commercial conditions. Two NaCl (2.0 and 10.0 mol m−3) and B (27.8 and 185.0 mmol m−3) concentrations were combined to produce four different types of raw water used to prepare the nutrient solutions. The fertigation treatment did not affect significantly the uptake of water and mineral elements apart from that of sodium (Na), chloride (Cl), and B. The use of B-enriched water increased the accumulation of this element in the leaves, which showed marginal chlorosis and necrosis within 35–40 days from planting. No or minor effects of NaCl and B concentrations in the irrigation water were found on leaf area development, biomass accumulation, crop yield and fruit quality
