In this paper an evaluation is made on the performance of cultivated green pepper submitted to five different treatments: 1) irrigation with well water and soil without fertilizer; 2) irrigation with well water and soil with mineral fertilization; 3) irrigation with well water and soil with organic fertilizer; 4) irrigation with polishing pond effluent; and 5) irrigation with UASB reactor effluent. The experiment was conducted in a randomized blocks design, with four repetitions, and data were submitted to variance analysis and Tukey test. The highest productivity of green pepper was observed when organic fertilizer was used (38.3 t ha-1). There were no significant differences between treatments 2, 3 and 5. The lowest productivity occured with treatment 4 irrigated with effluent of polishing pond.
