Abstract

Cultivation of Cotton and groundnut seeds was made by irrigation with distillery spent wash of different concentrations. The spent wash i.e., primary treated spent wash [PTSW] 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 spent wash were analyzed for their plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other physico-chemical characteristics. Experimental soil was tested for its chemical and physical parameters. Cotton and groundnut seeds were sown in the prepared land and irrigated with raw water (RW), 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 spent wash. The influence of spent wash irrigation on the yield of oil seed plants at maturity was investigated. It was found that the yield of oil seed plants was high in 1:3 spent wash irrigation than raw water and other dilutions.

Keywords

Abstract

CSR-19 silkworm reared with V1 variety of mulberry plants irrigated by raw water, 50% pretreated spent wash (PTSW) and 33% PTSW. The different parameters such as raw silk (%), filament length (m), reelability (%), denier and shell ratio were determined at the maturity of cocoons. It was found that the parameters were better in cocoon irrigated with 33% PTSW compared to 50% PTSW and raw water irrigation. This concludes that the mulberry plants irrigated with 33% PTSW are enriched with more nutrients for the potential growth of mulberry plants which results in the potential cocoons.

Abstract

Germination and growth of Chrysanthemum indicum (Asteraceae) and Polianthes tuberosa (Agavaceae) seeds were made by irrigation with distillery spent wash of different concentrations. The spent wash i.e., primarily treated spent wash (PTSW), 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 was analyzed for its plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other physical and chemical characteristics. Experimental soil was tested for its physico-chemical parameters. Seeds of Chrysanthemum and Polianthes were sown in different pots and irrigated with raw water (RW), differently diluted spent wash. The nature of germination of seeds and growth was studied. It was found that the germination was very good (100%) in 1:3 SW irrigation, while very poor (25%) in 1:1 SW, moderate (80%) in 1:2 SW and 95% in RW irrigations. Hence, spent wash can be used as irrigation medium at regular dilution.

Abstract

The residents of Mysore city are mainly dependent on bore well water for domestic and small scale industries, especially in summer season. Hence, large number of bore wells exist in the city. Fluoride content of these bore wells water was analysed and the outcome of the results was in the view of pollution of the study area. It reveals that the fluoride concentration is within the permissible limits as prescribed by BIS and WHO. Hence, the bore well water of Mysore city can be conveniently used for drinking purpose without any pre-treatment for fluoride.

Keywords

Fluoride Concentration, Bore well Water, Fluorosis.

Abstract

Sprouting and growth of Tagetes (Asteraceae) flowering plant was made by irrigated with distillery spentwash of different concentrations. Primary treated spent wash (PTSW) was analyzed for plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and other physical and chemical characteristics. Experimental soil was tested for chemical and physical parameters. Seeds of Tagetes (Asteraceae) were planted in different pots and irrigated with raw water (RW), 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 spentwash. The nature of sprouting and growth was studied. It was found that the sprouting and growth of plant was very good (100%) in 1:3 SW irrigation, while very poor (25%) in 1:1 SW, moderate (80%) in 1:2 SW and 90% in RW irrigation growth.

Abstract

Cultivation of some top vegetables was made by irrigation with distillery spentwash of different proportions. The spent wash i.e., primary treated spentwash (PTSW) and 33% spent wash were analyzed for their plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and other physical and chemical parameters. Experimental soils i.e, untreated (plot- 1) and spentwash treated (plot-2) soils were tested for their chemical and physical parameters. The top vegetables seeds (Namadhari and Mayhco) were sowed in the prepared land and irrigated with raw water (RW) and 33% spentwash. Influence of spentwash in untreated and spentwash treated soils on proximate principles (moisture, protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrate, energy, calcium, phosphorous, and iron), Vitamin content (carotene and vitamin-c), minerals and trace elements (magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, manganese, zinc, chromium and nickel) of top vegetables were investigated at their respective maturity. It was found that the nutrients of all top vegetables were high in 33%SW than raw water irrigation. Further, the nutritive values were very high in spentwash treated soil (plot-2) 33% irrigation than untreated (plot-1) and raw water irrigations.

Abstract

CSR-18 silkworm reared with V₁ variety of mulberry plants irrigated by raw water, 50 per cent PTSW and 33 per cent PTSW. The different parameters such as raw silk (%), filament length (m), reelability (%), denier and shell ratio were determined at the maturity of cocoons. It was found that the parameters were better in cocoon irrigated with 33 per cent PTSW compared to 50 per cent PTSW and raw water irrigations. This concludes that the mulberry plants irrigated with 33 per cent PTSW is enriched with more nutrients for the potential growth of mulberry plants which results in the potential cocoons.
