“…In contrast, the use of composted sewage sludge improved the growth parameters of tomato, cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) seedlings (Cai et al 2010). Danaher et al (2016) found that tomato growth was not negatively affected when dewatered aquaculture effluent was used to partially replace a substrate. The positive contribution of VC to tomato growth (yield, morphological and chemical fruit parameters) is strongly influenced by genotype (Zaller 2007).…”

Purpose An experiment was conducted to assess the ability of municipal solid waste compost (MSWC), peat, perlite and vermicompost (VC) to improve the growth of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.), an important horticultural commodity, in hydroponic culture. Methods Organic matter, when used as a substrate, can affect tomato cultivar 'Grandella' plant growth. In this study, we studied the effect of MSWC, either composted by earthworms (VC), or in an uncomposted form, as well as conventional substrates peat and perlite, on tomato growth when incorporated into hydroponic culture. Growth and physiological attributes were assessed at the fruiting stage. Results Among several ratios of MSWC, peat, perlite and VC, VC with 25 % compost increased the number of red fruits in the harvest period significantly more than the control. The use of VC, peat and perlite increased root fresh and dry weight, root volume, mean photosynthesis, and the number of fruits at all physiological stages compared to the control. Conclusion Vermicompost can improve tomato growth physiology when used as one part of the substrate in hydroponic culture.

“…A study conducted on oregano plants by Ahl et al 2009 andOmer, 1999 revealed a positive correlation between essential oil content and the available nitrogen in the soil. Other authors have also reported considerably high yields of produce while using fish effluents as an irrigation source for different crops such as rice and maize (Abdul-Rahman et al, 2011;Danaher et al, 2016;Neori et al, 2004). Hussain and Al-Jaloud (1995) reported more than 100% yields while experimenting with aquaculture effluents compared to well water with wheat crops (Wesley et al, 2000).…”

The concept of Integrating Aquaculture with Agriculture (IAA) is considered the right path towards achieving sustainable agriculture in semi and arid areas. With the increase of global water scarcity, the double utilization of water for both fish and crop production is gaining more attention since it ensures maximizing the productivity of every unit of water used. This study investigated the effect of fish effluent irrigation on the herbage growth, essential oil content, and composition of Origanum syriacum L. The experiment followed a randomized complete design of three irrigation treatments with three replicates, i.e., control with 100% chemical fertilizers (CT), full irrigation with fish effluent (FT), and the mixed treatment (MT) with 50% CT and 50% FT. Study findings showed that FT reached 49 branches/plant, gained maximum plant height (58.8cm), and highest fresh and dry herbage yield reaching 17.76 and 6.722 tons ha-1, respectively, in the second cut. Essential oil content reached the maximum in FT at 64.02dm 3 ha-1 and 143.5dm 3 ha-1, while the lowest in CT at 15.95dm 3 ha-1 and 109.33dm 3 ha-1 for the first cut and second, respectively. Carvacrol was the main constituent of the excreted essential oil, representing a maximum of 80.87% for FT in the first cut and 74.69% for MT in the second cut. It was closely followed by p-Cymene (10.75%-CT, 6.38%-FT) and γ-Terpinene (5.06%-CT, 8.49%-FT) for the first and second cut respectively. The importance of these major chemical components stems from their use in both the food and pharmaceutical industries.

“…Absorption and accumulation of heavy metals in vegetables and fruits are influenced by many factors, such as their solubility, soil pH, plant species; soil type, the concentration of heavy metals in soil, composition, and intensity of atmospheric deposition, including precipitations, the phase of plant vegetation [21,34]. To all of these, can be added other sources generated by agricultural technologies such as irrigation with wastewater, the administration of organic and mineral fertilizers with a load of heavy metals, or application of pesticides, which contain in their structure as chemical elements [35]. Urban, industrial, household activities and traffic contribute significantly to increasing the load degree of heavy metals containing particles of inferior atmosphere [34].…”

With the increase in anthropogenic activities, Heavy metal contamination of vegetables is inevitable as such it has become a course for concern due to food safety issues and potential health risk. This research is aimed at evaluating the phytoextraction efficiency of some vegetables and the potential health risk resulting from the consumption of vegetables that are grown in agricultural soil irrigated with Refinery wastewater. Wastewater was collected from the effluent point of Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company from October 2016 to February 2018 and analyzed for the presence of heavy metals (Cd +2 , Hg +2 , Ag +2 and Pb +2 , Cr +3 ) before use for irrigation. Soil samples were collected from a farm located in Rigasa, Igabi Local Government of Kaduna State. The soil samples were digested and analyzed for heavy metal (Cd +2 , Hg +2 , Ag +2 and Pb +2 , Cr +3 ) and physicochemical parameter before and after the wastewater is the used for irrigation and treatment process. The seeds of the vegetables were planted in the botanical garden of the Biological Sciences Department of Kaduna State University and were constantly irrigated by a refinery wastewater throughout the period of the research. After germination the plants were harvested and separated into root/rhiziome and shoot, digested and analyzed heavy metals using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. Bioconcentration factor, Biotranslocation factor, Daily intake of metal (DIM) and Health risk index (HRI) were calculated. The result obtained showed high accumulation trend in the vegetable for Cd and Hg in Solanum melongena, Cucumis sativa, Phasaelus vulgaris, Spinacia Oleracea, Allium cepa, Lactuca sativa, Daucas carota, Lycopersican esculentum, Pipper nigrum above recommended standard. The high DIM and HRI value by all the vegetables that are above FAO/WHO recommended a limit for the heavy metals. These researches thereby discourage the use of refinery wastewater in irrigation farming of vegetables. It also recommends the need to stop all vegetable farming activities within the bank of Romi stream since refinery wastewater is constantly been released into the stream.
