Wastewater irrigation boosts bean yield, revolutionizing farming practices in Iran.
The researchers studied how using wastewater from a factory to irrigate faba bean plants affects their growth and yield. They tested different irrigation times and wastewater concentrations. They found that more irrigation led to taller plants, more pods, and higher seed yield. Using 45% wastewater concentration increased the weight of 1000 seeds. Overall, controlled irrigation with factory wastewater can improve faba bean yield in the region.
