    Abstract

    Two drip irrigation systems for on-surface and subsurface effluent application were installed in sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharatum) experimental fields. Effects of secondary effluent on yield and bacterial contamination in the soil and the corn plants were studied. Results were compared with those obtained for sprinkle irrigated plots. Bacterial contamination of the crop was maximal under sprinkle irrigation and minimal under drip application.
