Resumen
The objective of the present study was to investigate the limitations of irrigation with saline reclaimed wastewater
(RW) for producing potted weeping fig (Ficus benjamina L.). Furthermore, two different levels of leaching were studied
to ascertain whether either reduces the negative effects of RW. Three irrigation treatments were applied: a) well
water (control), b) RW (5 dS m–1) with a constant leaching fraction of 23% (RWL), and c) RW (5 dS m–1) with a constant
leaching fraction of 15% and 50% flushing every nine irrigation events (RWF). After five months of exposure to
the RW, plant size, leaf area, specific leaf area, plant DW, stem diameter and shoot/root ratio were reduced, but both
compactness and the appearance of the plants remained high. RWF reduced leaf area, plant dry weight, stem diameter,
leaf lightness, leaf chroma and leaf SPAD compared with the RWL. Water consumption per pot was higher in control
(50.58 L), followed by RWL (24.29 L) and RWF (19.6 L). Photosynthesis ...
