Abstract

Effect of several irrigation of sugar industry effluent was studied on vegetative and yield characteristics of Brassica campestris L. var. Varuna type 59. Crop showed vigrous enhancement inalmost all the vegetative and yield characteristics studied and generally it was seen that the enhancement in vegetative and yield characteristics are directly related to the number of irrigation with sugar industry effluents. Maximum increaseinalmost all the parameters was recorded in T3 treatment (all the three irrigations with the sugar industry effluent). This enhancement in vegetative characters may be due to the suitable pH and chemical composition of the sugar industry effluent. The presence of nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium and sulphur etc. ineffluent play important roles in growth and development of the plants by taking part in some of the vital processes.
