A field experiment was conducted at Post Graduate Institute, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth Rahuri, dist-Ahmednagar ( M.S.) with raw and post bio-methanated spent wash for preparation of bio-compost from the different organic sources like press mud cake, baggasse, sugarcane trash, farm waste like pearl millet straw, chickpea straw and wheat cut straw etc. and seasonal sugarcane crop (Saccharum officinarum) variety Co 86032 was planted with sixteen treatments, three replications in sodic soil. Absolute control, farm yard manure and vermicompost treatments were taken for comparison with bio-composts. The growth parameters like height of the plant, girth of the stem, number of tillers etc. as well as yield , quality of sugarcane and soil chemical properties etc. were found significantly higher in the post bio-methanated bio-compost treatment as compared to the raw spent wash bio-compost treatment under sodic soil condition.
