Article Synopsis
- Recycled wastewater irrigation and limited irrigation rates can conserve water in agriculture, but the accumulation of Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in crops poses challenges.
- A 14-week field trial tested UV persulfate treatment on recycled water at two irrigation rates, showing effective removal of PPCPs, with UV/PS removing 60% of Carbamazepine (CBZ) and over 99% of other PPCPs.
- Findings indicated that a 60% evapotranspiration irrigation rate led to increased CBZ accumulation and higher turfgrass water stress compared to 80% ET, ultimately affecting turf quality negatively while highlighting the importance of irrigation rates in managing water reuse practices.
