Effects of Municipal Waste Water Effluent on Performance and Feed Quality of Maize vs. Reed Canarygrass

Abstract

No experimental comparisons have been reported of the yield of feed components of fodder maize (Zea mays L.) and of perennial grasses in production systems that use municipal waste water effluent. Our objective was to determine the feed quality and yields of maize fodder and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) when they were managed by conventional practices and when they received municipal waste water effluent during the growing seasons over a 4‐year period.
