A field experiment was conducted during 2009 to 2011 at Research and Development farm, M/s. Bannari Amman Sugars Distillery Division Ltd., Ealur, Erode to assess the performance of cumbu napier hybrid grass by utilizing distillery industry byproducts viz., distillery spentwash, biocompost and spentwash ash. Treatments involved are distillery spentwash @ 37.5 and 50 kilo l per ha at full and split dose, biocompost @ 5.0 tonnes per ha and spentwash ash @ 400 kg per ha with recommended dose of fertilizers and the parameters were assessed at 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th harvests. Results of the field experiment revealed that the application of distillery spentwash @ 50 kilo l per ha at full dose with recommend dose of nitrogen and phosphorus increased all the parameters and reduced the biochemical parameters over recommended dose of fertilizers.Keywords

Distillery spent wash contains nutrients and organic matter used in agriculture as a source of plant nutrients and irrigation water. Carbon and nitrogen play an important role in increasing the agricultural production. A laboratory incubation experiment was carried out to study the different concentrations of distillery spent wash on soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics. The treatments consisted of T1-Soil alone, T2-Spent wash @ 20 kilo L ha-1, T3- Spent wash @ 40 kilo L ha-1, T4-Spent wash @ 60 kilo L ha-1, T5-Spent wash @ 80 kilo L ha-1 and T6-Spent wash @ 100 kilo L ha-1. Among the different levels, the amounts of NH4-N, NO3-N and carbon were greater in soil that received 100 kilo L of spent wash compared to soil alone. Results shown that application of spent wash not only adds mineral N and carbon to soil, but also promotes the mineralization of soil organic C and N, thus resulting in large amounts of carbon, NH4-N and NO3-N in soil.Keywords

A study was conducted to develop the sensor and evaluate the soil moisture by using soil moisture sensors and to establish the relationships between soil moisture content and electrical resistance value. Study involved the fabrication of the soil moisture probes, automation network and laboratory testing of automation system. The soil moisture sensor and automation system used for experiment were developed at Department of Soil and Water Engineering, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. System is tested and calibrated for automatic irrigation scheduling. Laboratory test programmes were conducted for the performance of the soil moisture sensor in salt solution and different soils and to develop the calibration curve. It was observed that a significant logarithmic relation between electrical conductivity and resistive value of sensor-1, sensor-2, sensor-3 and sensor-4 with an R2 value of 0.95, 0.96, 0.96 and 0.96, respectively and with mean values of electrical resistance found R2 value of 0.964. Because of the sensors were tested for wide range of electrical conductivities ranges 0.01 dSm-1 to 8.12 dSm-1. Soil moisture sensor was evaluated with respect to the moisture content of the black soil and it was predicted that the electrical resistance in the range 197 Ohms to 260 Ohms at an average of 224 Ohms at average soil moisture content 58.51 per cent. And at the range of 410 Ohms to 511 Ohms at an average 468 Ohms at 32.41 per cent on 75 hours during the experiment. It was observed that average moisture content 58.51, 57.01, 55.08, 52.73, 50.63, 48.48, 46.16, 42.01, 39.68, 37.26, 34.73 and 32.41 per cent recorded at an average duration of 0, 3, 6, 18, 24, 27, 45, 48, 51, 69, 72 and 75 hours, respectively.Keywords
