The objective of this work was to study the influence of different levels of wastewater and two doses of phosphorus on the productivity and oil content of physic nut seeds. A randomized design in a 5x2 factorial arrangement was used, with four replicates with one plant per plot. Treatments consisted of a combination of five levels of irrigation depths (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00 and 1.25 of water consumption) and two doses of P2O5 (135 and 200 g per plant) per year. The productivity and oil content of the seeds were positively and significantly affected by water depths, while phosphorus doses had no influence.
