Abstract

In this study physical (bulk density, particle
density, porosity, wet aggregate stability) and hydraulic properties (field
capacity, wilting point, available water content, infiltration) of the soil did
not change significantly under different irrigation practices. However, the
porosity, available water content, and infiltration improved partly under
partial root-zone drying practice with 50% water shortage. Wet aggregate
stability in surface soil increased significantly with wastewater treatment.
Wastewater reduced the stable infiltration rate significantly as well. Although
the physical and hydraulic properties improved when compared with the
pre-planting values, the wastewater treatment could not provide sustainable
important effects in a short-time period.
