Use of wastewater of domestic origin in agriculture: a study of nutritional status of coffee

The objective of this work was to investigate nutritional status of coffee in response to application of filtered domestic wastewater and to compare the results with conventional agricultural management. The experiment was carried out at the Sewer Treatment Pilot Plant (EPTE), DEA/UFV. The experimental design consisted of 18 plots, each with eight plants. The treatments were distributed in randomized blocks design (planting lines) with three repetitions. According to the results, it may be concluded that the adoption of the management with wasterwater was more effective to improve nutritional status of coffee in comparison to conventional management.
