Discussion

Experimental assessment shows wastewater improves soil fertility and promotes forage palm growth in degraded areas.

Irrigation with wastewater improved soil fertility and vegetative growth of forage palm.
Soil fertility measures indicated significant changes in pH, organic carbon, and nitrogen levels.
The randomized block design examined two plant species under different irrigation volumes, aiding assessment.
Findings suggest wastewater utilization can enhance agricultural practices in semi-arid regions, calling for further exploration.

Meireles et al. (2025) studied this question.
