Abstract
Cultivation of some creeper medicinal plants namely, Amruthaballi (Tinospora cordifolia), Asthisamharka (Cissus quadrangularis, Basale (Basella rubra), was made by irrigation with distillery spentwash of different proportions. The spentwash i.e. primary treated spentwash (PTSW) and 33% spentwash were analyzed for their plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and other physical and chemical parameters. Experimental soils i.e. normal soil (plot-1) and spentwash treated (plot-2) soil was tested for their chemical and physical parameters. The sets of creeper medicinal plants were sowed in the prepared land and irrigated with raw water (RW) and 33% spentwash. Influence of spentwash in normal and spentwash treated soils on proximate principles (moisture, protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrate, energy, calcium, phosphorous, and iron), vitamin content (carotene and vitamin-c), minerals and trace elements (magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, manganese, zinc, chromium and nickel) of plants was investigated at their respective maturity. It was found that the nutrients of all medicinal plants were high in 33% than raw water irrigation. Further, the nutrients uptakes were very high in spentwash treated soil (plot-2) than normal soil (plot]) and raw water irrigations for all types of plants. It concludes that the subsequent use of diluted spentwash for irrigation enriches the soil fertility and hence the diluted spentwash (33%) is an effective, eco-friendly irrigation medium for cultivation of creeper medicinal plants without any adverse effect on soil and environment.
