The present study deals with the assessment of changes in physical and biochemical characteristics of soil and metal partitioning in Beta vulgaris L. grown in farmer's fields irrigated with waste water in Dinapur and Lohta areas of Varanasi, India, during December to February, 2007February, -2008February, and 2008February, -2009. Nutrient concentrations, organic carbon, microbial biomass, C, N, and P, enzymatic activities and heavy metal concentrations in soil and plant parts were estimated at waste water (DW 1 , DW 2 and LW) and clean water-irrigated sites (DC and LC). Sites receiving waste water irrigation showed an increase in organic C by 36 and 64 % and in available phosphorus by 15 and, 21 % at DW 1 and DW 2 sites compared to DC and 88 and 29 % at LW compared to LC during the first year. Dehydrogenase and urease activities increased two to threefold at waste water-irrigated sites compared to the respective clean water-irrigated ones during both the years of study. Microbial biomass (C, N, and P) and concentrations of exchangeable cations (Na ? , K ? , and Ca ?2 ) also showed increments varying from two to threefold at waste water-irrigated sites. During both the years, total heavy metal concentration in soil was the highest for Mn followed by Zn, Pb, Ni, Cu, Cr, and Cd at Dinapur, whereas at Lohta the trend was Mn, Zn, Cr, Pb, Cu, and Cd. The accumulation of heavy metals in the plants was several-fold higher in roots and shoots at waste water-irrigated sites, and Cd, Pb, and Ni were above the safe limits in edible tissues. Lower metal concentrations were recorded at DW 1 site compared to DW 2 and LW sites. The study suggests that waste water irrigation led to beneficial changes in physico-chemical and biological properties of the soil, but increased the soil contamination of heavy metals. However, the intermittent use of clean water in such areas may not only reduce the metal contamination in the plants but will also maintain soil fertility.

“…Overall, the results of this research showed the Cd, Ni, and Pb accumulation in potato shoots and tubers of the various treatments was in the following order: T 1 [ T 3 [ T 2 [ T 4 [ T 5 (except Cd in shoots). Al-Lahham et al (2007) indicated that the accumulation of heavy metals varied according to cultivar, but in the case of the tomato, the accumulation of heavy metals was more pronounced by increasing the proportion of treated-wastewater in irrigation (the pattern of accumulation follows the following order: 1:0 \ 1:1 \ 1:3 \ 0:1, potable water to treated-wastewater).…”

In this study, raw and treated wastewaters were reused for potato cultivation in order to verify the effect of wastewater on crop yield, crop's heavy metals' concentration as well as some major traits of potato. To this regard, a completely randomized test was designed with five water treatments and three replications. The watering were as follows: raw wastewater (T 1 ), treated wastewater (T 2 ), a combination of 50 % raw wastewater and 50 % fresh water (T 3 ), a combination of 50 % treated wastewater and 50 % fresh water (T 4 ), and fresh water (T 5 ). The experiments were run during October 2009-June 2010 in the greenhouse of Bu-Ali Sina University. The results show that the effects of treatments were significant on the length and number of stems per plant (p \ 0.05). The number of nodes and weight of tubers, crop yield and heavy metal (cadmium, nickel and lead) concentration in shoots and tubers were also significant (p \ 0.01). The results indicated that the highest length of stem (55.44 cm) was obtained in T 2 which had no significant differences from that of T 1 . The maximum and minimum tuber weights and crop yield were obtained in T 1 and T 5 , respectively. Based on crop yield rate, the watering ranked as follows: T 5 . The maximum and minimum heavy metal values were observed in T 1 and T 5 , respectively. Based on the cadmium, nickel and lead accumulations in shoots and tubers (except cadmium in shoots), the watering treatments ranked as:

“…Excessive accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural soils through effluent irrigation may not only result in soil contamination, but also affect food quality and safety (Muchuweti et al, 2006;Srivastava and Chopra, 2014). Earlier studies by Pandey (2006) and Lahham et al (2007) on heavy metals revealed that metals concentrations increase in the soil on irrigation with electroplating and sewage wastewater respectively. Qishlaqi et al (2008) recorded higher values for Zn (12.4-198.9 mgKg -1 ), Ni (14.6-313.6 mgKg -1 ), Cd (0.09-3.30 mgKg -1 ) and Cr (2.1-35.1 mgKg -1 ) in wastewater irrigated soils.…”

Abstract:A study was performed under natural environment to compare heavy metal accumulation in soil and Vigna unguiculata L. (Cowpea) irrigated with five rates of SME viz. 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100% concentrations and DAP treatment (applied @100Kg/ha i.e. 0.7g / per 5 Kg) and control (Bore well water) separately in both the rainy (Kharif) and summer (Zaid) seasons for 90 days. Results revealed that among various concentration of SME and DAP treatment, irrigation with 100% SME concentration significantly (P<0. ), and Fe (5.54-6.18) were observed at 100% concentration of SME than that of DAP treatment in both the cultivated seasons. However, the concentration of all the metals Zn, Cu, Ni, Cd, Cr and Fe in soil and plant were lower than toxicity threshold i.e. within the permissible limit. Enrichment factor (Ef) for soil/V. unguiculata was recorded maximum with ) and minimum with Fe (3.24-3.44) / (2.28-2.52) after 90 days of SME irrigation than DAP in both the cropping seasons of Kharif and Zaid. The minimum accumulation of Fe in both soil and crop showed that metals with completely filled d orbitals (d8, Fe) were least incorporated into the V. unguiculata crop.
