Description 332-337
This study evaluates irrigation use of highly saline cane molasses post methanated distillery effluent in crop production, and
crop and soil quality maintenance during fresh water scarcity. Effluent could be used for irrigating crops, preferably grown in
neutral soils. In a pot experiment, application of distillery effluent through irrigation was found useful at 50% dilution with
water 50(E)/50(W), without impairing groundnut (biomass) yield, nutrient concentration and soil properties. In a field trial on
non-saline, acidic, red and laterite soil, alternate supply of effluent with water or 50(E)/50(W) blending proved appropriate for
irrigating groundnut in sequence with paddy during monsoon. Salt accumulated through effluent irrigation didn’t retain in soil
after paddy in monsoon. A sizeable portion of distillery effluent could reliably be used for crop irrigation.
