t1“Two Wheat Cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.)”
e3“Irrigation with the wastewater resulted in a significant reduction in photosynthetic characteristics including chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm and PIABS), intercellular CO2, net photosynthesis, water use efficiency, and photosynthetic pigments”
e4“The reduction in photosynthesis was followed by a significant decrease in the carbohydrate content and, subsequently, plant height, leaf area, and grain yield”

Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation The wastewater contained high levels of NH4+, NO3-, PO43- and SO42-.
- Intervention effect Wastewater irrigation significantly decreased leaf K, P, Si and Zn content in wheat.
- Intervention effect Wastewater irrigation significantly reduced chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm and PIABS) in wheat.
- Intervention effect Wastewater irrigation significantly reduced intercellular CO2, net photosynthesis and water use efficiency in wheat.
- Intervention effect Wastewater irrigation significantly reduced photosynthetic pigments in wheat.
- Intervention effect Wastewater irrigation significantly decreased carbohydrate content in wheat.
- Intervention effect Increasing wastewater concentration reduced leaf thickness and root diameter in wheat.
- Intervention effect Increasing wastewater concentration decreased xylem and phloem vessels, root cortical parenchyma and mesophyll thickness in wheat.
- Intervention effect Bulliform cell size increased under wastewater treatment in wheat.
- Mechanism Bulliform cell enlargement may indicate induction of a defense system against water loss through leaf rolling in wheat.
- Recommendation Wastewater with high suspended solids and salts should not be approved for irrigating wheat crops.
