Soil hydrophobicity and crop evapotranspiration of two indigenous vegetables under different wastewater irrigations in southwest Nigeria

The increased demand for irrigation to boost food supply has placed emphasis on the use of wastewaters. However, the indiscriminate use of wastewaters could impair soil functions and influence other hydrologic processes. The objective of this study was to evaluate soil hydrophobicity and evapotransp...
