 ABSTRACT

Field study on effect of bio-methanated distillery effluent on soil properties, cane yield and uptake of nutrients under sugarcane crop was conducted during 2011-12 in calcareous soil of Bihar. Seven treatments of bio-methanated distillery effluent and different dose of nutrients were tried in randomized block design. Results revealed that the integrated application of BMDE and different dose of NPK nutrient significantly improved the physico-chemical properties of soil in 0-30 cm soil depth, number of millable cane, cane yield and uptake of NPK nutrients as compared to control. Treatment combination BMDE+100% NPK (T3) recorded 129.4% higher cane yield which was closely followed by BMDE+75%NPK (T4) over control (T7).

Key words: Sugarcane, BMDE, Yield, Uptake, Soil properties.
