Keywords : Sewage water, Wheat, Biochemical parameters<br />

A field experiment was conducted to study the physical and biochemical<br />

parameters of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety PBW-343 grown under<br />

sewage water collected from Bareilly city (U. P) <strong>India</strong>. The effect of sewage<br />

water was analysed by measuring various physiochemical parameters. Crop<br />

irrigated with 100% sewage water showed increased number of tillers, leaf area<br />

per plant, no. of ears and seed yield per plant as compared to control. 50% sewage<br />

water irrigation also increased the growth of crop compared to tap water (control)<br />

irrigation, but increase was less than 100% sewage water. Various biochemical<br />

parameters such as Chlorophyll, Carotenoid, Protein and Proline were analysed.<br />

There was a significant increase in Chlorophyll and Protein content in wheat plant<br />

irrigated with 100% sewage water as compared to 50% sewage water and control.<br />

Carotenoid and Proline enhanced to a greater extent when wheat was irrigated with<br />

100% sewage water as compared to control. The study reflects that sewage water<br />

can be reused for irrigation purpose in agriculture.<br />
