Effect of Primary Biomethanated Spentwash on Properties of Sodic Soil Arun Bhagat

The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design with nine treatments and three replications. The higher dose of PBSW (500 m3 ha-1) seems to be superior on sodic soil in improving soil physical, chemical properties, increasing yield and uptake of N, P and K by wheat crop in sodic soil. The treatment FYM + 100 % GR + RDF was equally superior to the treatment PBSW @ 500 m3 ha-1 indicating that the dose of PBSW @ 500 m3 ha-1 was equivalent to FYM + 100 % GR + RDF in improving soil physico-chemical properties and yield of wheat in sodic soil. There was improvement in physical and chemical properties, increase in wheat yield and nutrient uptake by wheat in sodic soil as the dose of PBSW increased from 100 m3 ha-1 to 500 m3 ha-1.
