STUDIES ON THE IMPACT OF IRRIGATION OF DISTILLERY SPENTWASH ON THE YIELDS OF CREEPER MEDICINAL PLANTS

摘要

Cultivation of some creeper medicinal plants was made byirrigationwithdistiUeryspentwashof different concentrations. Thespentwash i.e., primary treated spentwash (PTSW), 50% and 33% spentwash were analyzed 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. Seedsof creeper medicinal plants were sowed in the prepared land and irrigated with raw water (RW) 50% and 33% spentwash. The influence of spentwash on the yields of creeper Medicinal Plants at their respective maturity was investigated. It was found that the yields of all creeper medicinal plants were more in 33% spentwash irrigation than raw water and 50% spentwash irrigations.
