Cultivation of some fruit plants was made by irrigation with distillery spentwash of different concentrations. Primarily treated spentwash (50% and 33%) was analysed for plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other physico-chemical parameters. The plants were cultivated by irrigation with raw water (RW) and 50% and 33% spentwash. The impact of spentwash on proximate principles (moisture, protein, fat, fibre, carbohydrate, energy, calcium, phosphorus and iron), vitamin content (carotene and vitamin-c), mineral and trace elements (magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, manganese, zinc, chromium and nickel) and nutritive value of ripened fruits were analysed. It was observed that there is good nutrients uptake in 33% in all the fruits than 50% spentwash and raw water.Keywords

A field investigation was carried out during 2007-2008 to study the impact of use of primarily treated distillery spentwash (PTSW) and diluted distillery spentwash (50% and 33%) on sandy loam soil physico-chemical characteristics. Impact of distillery spentwash on soil characteristics like pH, electrical conductivity, total organic carbon, available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), exchangeable calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), available sulphur (S), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) were studied at different intervals of time. Long-term application of distillery spentwash proved useful in significantly increasing most of the characteristics. The nutrient availability, viz., N, P, K, Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn contents in soil was significantly higher with decreased dilution. The impact of distillery spentwash on physical and chemical characteristics of sandy loam soil was studied and it was found that application of distillery spentwash improves the nutrient status of soil.Keywords
