Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in a V1 mulberry garden established under paired row system to study the influence of raw and treated sewage water irrigation on growth and yield of mulberry. The raw and treated sewage water were collected from GKVK sewage treatment plant and irrigated to mulberry garden. Application of different proportions of raw sewage, treated sewage and borewell water irrigation significantly influenced the growth parameters of V1 mulberry. Data recorded on growth parameters of mulberry revealed that raw sewage water irrigation significantly increased the plant growth parameters such as plant height (184.33 cm), highest shoot height (129.16 cm), number of shoots/plant (25.18), shortest internodal distance (5.36cm), number of leaves/plant (417.16), leaf area (202.16) than borewell water irrigation and also leaf yield (804.31 g/plant) is significantly increased in 100% raw sewage water irrigation. An overview of the study revealed that raw sewage water irrigated plo
