Abstract

Germination of Himalayan Balsam (Balsaminaceae) and Crossandra (Acanthaceae) seeds was made by irrigated with distillery spentwash of different concentrations. The spentwash i.e., primary treated spentwash (PTSW), 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 spent wash were analyzed for their plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and other physical and chemical characteristics. Experimental soil was tested for its chemical and physical parameters. Himalayan Balsam and crossandra seeds were sowed in different pots and irrigated with raw water (RW), 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 spentwash. The nature of germination of seeds was studied. It was found that, the germination was very good (100%) in 1:3 SW irrigation, while very poor (25%) in 1:1 SW, moderate (80%) in 1:2 SW and 95% in RW irrigations.
