Potential of simple filters to improve microbial quality of irrigation water used in urban vegetable farming in Ghana
Irrigation water used for growing vegetables in urban areas in many low- income countries is contaminated with untreated wastewater. Many wastewater treatment methods are economically prohibitive and continued use of such irrigation water pose health risks for vegetable consumers and farmers. As par...
