Abstract

Germination of Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Honge (Pongamia pinnata) seeds was made by irrigated with distillery spentwash of different concn. The spentwash i.e. primary treated spentwash [PTSW] 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 spentwash were analyzed for their plant nutrients such nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and phys. and chem. characteristics. Exptl. soil was tested for its physico-chem. parameters. Neem and Honge seeds were sowed in the prepd. land and irrigated with raw water (RW), 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 spentwash. The nature of germination and growth of seeds was studied. It was found that, the germination as well as growth was good (100%) in 1:3 SW irrigation, while very poor in 1:1 SW (25%), moderate in 1:2 SW (80%) and 95% in RW irrigation. [on SciFinder(R)]
