| Abstract: | Effect of irrigation to Azadirachta indica Juss
saplings by untreated domestic wastewater (N1), wastewater treated by
phytoremediation (N2) and tap water as control (N3) on their
establishment and growth were compared. Constructed wetland (CW) was able to
reduce BOD, N, P and K to a significant level. Growth measured in terms of
morphological and bio-chemical parameters was in the order N1> N2 > N3. Concentration
of heavy metals in biomass ( g/g) varied in the order Fe > Zn > Cu >
Cr under all treatments. Total uptake of iron under three treatments varied in
the order N1 > N2 > N3 while uptake of Zn, Cu and Cr was in the order N3 > N2  N1. |
