Production of Small Grains Pasture Forage Using Sewage Effluent as a Source of Irrigation Water and Plant Nutrients¹

Synopsis: Winter pasture forage yields equivalent to 11.14 tons per acre were obtained from barley irrigated with sewage effluent with no additional fertilizer. Similarly, wheat and oats produced 263% and 249% more pasture forage, respectively, than check plots that received only pump water. Barley was more sensitive to the detrimental effects of sewage effluent than wheat or oats.

² Agronomist and Agricultural Chemist, respectively. The authors are grateful to A. S. Oshrin for providing the necessary land, pump water, and sewage effluent. They acknowledge the assistance of G. D. Massey and T. J. Donovan who helped with the field work and statistical analyses, respectively. Thanks are due to D. F. McAlister, R. T. Ramage, and M. A. Massengale for reviewing the manuscript.
