Abstract

Germination of Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) and Sunflower (helianthus annuus) seeds was made by irrigated with distillery spentwash of different concentration.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 physical &chemical characteristics.Experimental soil was tested for its physicochemical parameters.Jatropha and Sunflower seeds were sowed in the prepared land and irrigated with raw water (RW), 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 spent wash.The nature of germination and growth of seed 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.
