Irrigational Impact of Distillery Spentwash on the Growth and Yield of Graminacious Forages –Anjan Grass (Cenchrus Ciliaris), Setaria Grass (Setaria Anceps), Para Grass (Brachiaria Mutica) and Rhodes Grass (Chloris Gayana)
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Studies were conducted to study the growth and yield of graminacious forages; Anjan Grass, Setaria Grass, Para Grass, and Rhodes grass irrigated with distillery spentwash of different concentration. The spentwash in the ratio of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 was used and analysed for their plant nutrients such as Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium and other physical and chemical characteristics. Experimental soil was tested for its chemical and physical parameters. Anjan Grass, Setaria Grass, Para Grass and Rhodes Grass rooted slips(3inch) were sowed in different pots and irrigated with raw water(RW) along with spentwash in the ratio of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3. The studies of the growth and yield were studied. It was found that the growth and yield was very good in 1:3 spentwash irrigation compared to 1:1 spentwash, 1:2 spentwash and raw water irrigation for all the plants. Hence, Spentwash can be expediently used as a medium for irrigation in specific dilution without harming the atmosphere, water and soil.
