Abstract:The conventional intensive use of chemical fertilizers poses significant threats to agro-ecosystem sustainability, leading to soil deterioration and environmental pollution. This study explores the potential of utilizing phosphate-rock mining wastewater (MWw) as a sustainable alternative for fertigation in chickpea cultivation. The investigation, conducted under both greenhouse and field conditions, evaluates the impact of raw and diluted MWw on chickpea growth, yield, and soil microbial diversity. In greenhou… Show more
