The free discharge of drainage water from greenhouse horticultural production to the environment is a current
environmental concern due to its capacity to contribute to environmental pollution. This has led to the search of
sustainable alternatives for its reuse in the production of other crops. However, before the large-scale use of such
horticultural leachates in ornamental plants, the effects of such fertigation treatments on ornamental plants need
to be evaluated. Plants of rosemary were grown in pots with a mixture of sphagnum peatmoss and Perlite and
subjected to three fertigation treatments: T0 (a standard nutrient solution or control), T1 (raw leachates from
Cucumis melo) and T2 (a mixture of raw leachates from C. melo and tap water 1:1 v/v, over a period of 9 weeks. At
the end of the experiment, the growth parameters, color of leaves as well as water and nutrient uptake efficiencies
and their losses were assessed for each fertigation treatment. The total dry weight and...
