Nutritional additives of spentwash on pulses production

Abstract

Cultivation of some pulses by distillery spentwash irrigation in normal and spentwash treated soil was studied. The primary treated distillery spentwash (PTSW) and 33% spentwash were analyzed for their additive plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, sulphur and other physical and chemical parameters. Untreated soil (plot-1) and spentwash treated soil (plot-2) were tested for chemical and physical parameters. The seeds of pulses (Namadhari and Mahyco) were sown in the prepared land dimension of 4' x 6' blocks in both plot-1 and plot-2. Seeds were irrigated with raw water and 33% spentwash. The nature of yields were studied and compared. Irrigation with 33% spentwash more yield for all pulses in plot-2 than compare to plot- 1 concludes that spentwash treated soil is enriched with plant nutrients. © JBiopest.
