Effects of Reclaimed Wastewater Containing Pharmaceutical Active Compounds (PhACs) and Tomato–Wheat Crop Succes-sion on Soil Microbial Communities and Crop Productivity

Key Points

• To examine the impact of reclaimed wastewater containing pharmaceutical active compounds on soil microbial communities and crop productivity during tomato-wheat succession.
• Applied reclaimed wastewater with PhACs to soils under tomato-wheat crop succession.
• Monitored soil microbial community structure and crop yield metrics.
• Implemented controlled environmental conditions to assess the effects.
• Significant increase in beneficial soil microbial diversity after application of reclaimed wastewater.
• Enhanced crop productivity observed with tomato-wheat succession using treated irrigation.
• Positive correlation between microbial community changes and crop yield improvement.
