Abstract
Maize (Zea Mays), sorghum-Sudan grass (Sorghum vulgare x Sorghum sudanese, and kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) were irrigated with municipal effluent at 5, 10, 15, and 20 cm/week on Lakeland fine sand. In all cases efficiency of N uptake from the effluent decreased with increasing application rates, as expected from fertility studies. For maize, efficiency of uptake continued to increase up to harvest. For sorghum-Sudan grass and kenaf a peak was reached at about 50 days after planting, after which efficiency of uptake declined rapidly
