“…13 14 The sugar industry is playing an important role in the economic development of the Indian 15 sub continent, but effluents released by them produce a high degree of organic pollution in 16 aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. They also alter the physico-chemical characteristics of 17 the receiving aquatic bodies and affect aquatic flora and fauna.…”

“…High concentrations are usually most damaging to young plants but not necessarily at germination, although the high salt concentration can slow germination by several days, or completely inhibit it. Because soluble salts move readily with water, evaporation moves salts to the soil surface where they accumulate and harden the soil surface delaying germination (Sunseri et al 1998;Kaushik et al 2004). …”

“…Most studies were conducted on few agronomic stages with limited parameters in various crops, but there are few reports on comprehensive agronomic studies at various agronomic stages of these plants (Kaushik et al 2004). Use of industrial effluents on cultivation of P. glaucum is receiving attention (Moazzam et al 2012) but additional information is required on how this crop responds to various concentrations of different types of effluents.…”

Background The disposal of sugar mill effluent has become a major problem in India due to generation of huge volume of effluent. The value of wastewater for crop production has been recognized in many countries, including India. The effluents not only contain nutrients that stimulate growth of many crops, but also may have various toxic chemicals, metals, metallic oxides along with nitrogenous and phosphate compounds, which may affect various agronomical characteristics of crop plants. The present investigation was conducted to asses the agro-potentiality of agrobased sugar mill effluent as ferti-irrigant, and an alternative of irrigation water. Six plots were selected for six treatments of sugar mill effluent viz. 0 % (control), 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 % for the fertigation of Pennisetum glaucum L., cv. Nandi 35. P. glaucum was grown, fertigated with effluent till harvest and effect of effluent fertigation on the soil and agronomical characteristics of P. glaucum were analyzed. Results The fertigant concentration produced changes in electrical conductivity (EC), pH, organic carbon (OC), sodium (Na ? ), potassium (K ? ), calcium (Ca 2? ), magnesium (Mg 2? ), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), phosphate (PO 4 3-), sulfate (SO 4 2-), iron (Fe), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) of the soil in both seasons. The agronomic performance of P. glaucum increased from 20 to 40 % in both seasons compared to controls. The accumulation of heavy metals increased in soil and P. glaucum from 20 to 100 % sugar mill effluent concentrations in both seasons. Biochemical components like crude proteins, crude fiber, and crude carbohydrates were found maximum with 40 % sugar mill effluent in both seasons. The contamination factor (Cf) of various metals were in the order of Mn [ Zn [ Cu [ Cd [ Cr for soil and Mn [ Zn [ Cu [ Cr [ Cd for P. glaucum in both seasons after fertigation with sugar mill effluent. Sugar mill effluent irrigation increased nutrients in the soil and affected the growth of P. glaucum in both seasons. Conclusions It appears that sugar mill effluent can be used as a biofertigant after appropriate dilution to improve yield of P. glaucum.

Abstract:The feasibility of using wastewater grown barley plants as a component of fish feed was evaluated. The barley plants were grown in a hydroponics system on wastewater from a recirculating aquaculture facility. The effects of wastewater application rate on plant growth and pollution potential reduction were investigated. At the end of the experiment, the average crop heights and yields were 31.0 and 36.0 cm and 59 and 83 t ha -1 at wastewater application rates of 690 and 1380 mL compartment -1 day -1 , respectively. The hydroponics system reduced the TS, COD, NH 4 + -N, NO 2 --N, NO 3 --N and PO 4 -3 -P of the aquaculture wastewater by 51. 5-52.9, 72.3-72.3, 81.8-82.3, 97.9-98.2, 78.9-79.7 and 84.7-86.3%, respectively. The aquaculture wastewater grown barley met the energy, fat, Ca, Mg, P, Na, S and Mn dietary requirements of aquatic animals. It exceeded the carbohydrate, crude fiber, Cl, K, Cu, Fe, Se and Zn dietary requirements of fish and shellfish. It did not contain sufficient amounts of protein. The aquaculture wastewater grown barley could potential be used as a component in fish feed, but will require supplementation with a high protein source that contains low concentrations of carbohydrate, crude fiber, Cl, K, Cu, Fe, Se and Zn. Common protein sources that could be used for supplementation included fishmeal, bone meal and blood meal.
