Abstract

In order to study the effects of treated wastewater and foliar application of complete fertilizer on forage quantittative and qualitative characteristics of millet (Setaria italica) a split plot experiment based on the randomized complete block was designed (R.C.B design), likewise three replication was conducted at the Agriculture Institute of Zabol University in 2009. Treatments included three irrigation levels: tap water for all growing stages (Control), wastewater and tapwater alternately, wastewater for all growing stages, as main plot and three levels of foliar application with complete fertilizer (NATBA-LIB): no foliar application (control), foliar application with 600 gram in each hectar, foliar application with 1200 gram in each hectar, as sub plot. Results showed that the irrigation with wastewater and foliar application with complete fertilizer lead to increase in yields, yield’s component and forage quality. Furthermore, According to Duncan test (p≤0.05) for comparing means, result showed that irrigation with wastewater and foliar application with complete fertilizer lead to significant increase (p≤0.05) in forage quality properties such as: WSC, CP, EE, OM, DM, ASH and decrease significant NDF, ADF, ADL and CF. Treatment of wastewater for all growing stages had a positive and significant influence on all quality and quantity characteristics (unlike EE) in comparison with Control and wastewater and tapwater. The treats of irrigation with wastewater and tapwater alternately had maximum of EE. The result showed that irrigate millet with wastewater for all growing stages and foliar application with 1200 gram of hectar with complete fertilizer cause significance increase in the quantitative and qualitative characteristic of forage millet.
