Use of treated industrial effluent for irrigating agricultural crops has great significance to crop yield, soil
fertility and soil biological activity. A field experiment was conducted on a Vertisol with fenugreek as test
crop to compare treated industrial effluent from NCPL, Bharuch, Gujarat with best available tubewell water
(BAW) as irrigation water. Plant height increased by 22.9 per cent with treated effluent irrigation as
compared to only BAW. Highest fenugreek seed and straw yields were 42.8 and 74.0 g/m2, respectively in
50% diluted effluent with BAW, and differed significantly from other options. Total N, P and K uptake by
the plant parts was also improved when irrigated with treated effluent. The soil properties after harvest
were influenced when treated effluent with or without dilution was used for irrigation. Soil organic carbon
content increased due to irrigation with treated effluent as compared to BAW alone. Similarly, build-up of
native N and P was observed in plots receiving treated effluent for irrigating the crop
