ABSTRACT
Field experiment was carried out at the common effluent treatment plant (CETP), Dindigul during kharif 2012-2013 to investigate the effect of treated tannery effluent along with domestic waste water on growth, yield attributes and nutrient uptake of marigold. 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 growth, yield parameters (plant height, root length, dry matter production, individual flower weight, flower stalk length, flower diameter, number of flowers per plant and flower yield) and nutrient uptake (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) of marigold. Regarding amendments, gypsum application registered higher marigold yield followed by VAM.
Key words :
Domestic waste water, Gypsum, Marigold, Treated tannery effluent, VAM.
