Abstract
Cultivation of leafy vegetables irrigated by distillery spentwash in normal and spentwash treated soil was studied. The primary treated distillery spentwash (PTSW) and 33% spentwash were analyzed for additive plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, sulphur and other physical and chemical parameters. Normal soil and spentwash treated soil were tested for chemical and physical parameters. The leafy vegetable seeds were sown in the prepared land blocks. Seeds were irrigated with water and 33% spentwash. The nature of growth and yields were studied and compared. Irrigation with 33% spentwash showed efficient growth and yield for all leafy vegetables compared to control.
