Abstract

In the field experiment conducted in the varying plots in Etmadpur area of Agra region to study the physico chemical properties of six sewage samples and its effect on vegetable crop. Accumulation of mineral constituents and heavy metals in soil and vegetable crop like spinach and Okra showed varying results. When the sewage water samples (W1- W6) were tested the results were that all the samples were found in the range of (7-8 pH).CO₃ is found maximum in 2 samples 2meL^-1 (W5-W6), HCO3 is found maximum in one sample 18meL^-1 (W2). Cl recorded maximum in 15 meL^-1(W6). None of the samples (W1-W6) were detected suitable for irrigation as all were basic in nature. The class of irrigated water is found to be basic in nature therefore not suitable for irrigation. Certain vegetable crops like reddish, cauliflower, spinach etc were found to give better yield in this particular sewage water.

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in micro plots of the Department of Chemistry, St. John’s College, Agra during winter season with the objects of studying the effect of varying levels of gypsum on certain growth parameters in sugarbeet crops grown under varying sodicity levels. It is obvious from the result that the height, number of leaves, size of sugarbeet fresh and dry biomass yield significantly increased with the rise in gypsum levels over controlled plots. The G0R2 levels tremendously reduced the all above parameters over control 15 meL^-1 sodic water without chemical amendments resulted marked reduction in all growth parameters except.
The concentration of RSC of 15 meL^-1 irrigation water or in soil solution increased the sodium absorption in soil which ultimately gave rise to plasmolysis as a result in plant growth arrested in most of in the treatment where more sodic water used for irrigation purpose. Therefore, solution having bicarbonate in excess which also increased the ESP and pH of the soil.
