ABSTRACT
Field experiment was conducted at the common effluent treatment plant (CETP), Dindigul during winter 2012-2013 to investigate the effect of treated tannery effluent along with domestic waste water on growth, yield attributes and yield of cotton. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design replicated thrice. The results revealed that the mixing proportion of 1:3 (i.e.) application of 25% treated tannery effluent (TTE) + 75% domestic waste water (DWW) significantly increased the growth, yield parameters (plant height, dry matter production, number of syrnpodial branches per plant, number of fruiting points per plant, number of bolls per plant) and yield of cotton. Regarding amendments, gypsum application registered higher seed cotton yield followed by VAM.
Key words :
