Effect of Irrigation with Paper Mill Effluent on the Nutrient Status of Soil

Santosh Kumar Singh

Abstract: The study was undertaken to investigate the impact of paper mill effluent irrigation on soil nutrient status. The soil was collected at five locations. At each location two near by fields were selected of which one was irrigated with paper mill effluent while other received normal irrigation water. The samples were collected for two depth 0-15 cm and 15-30 cm and were designated as d₁ and d₂, respectively. The study revealed a significant increase in EC (electrical conductivity), organic carbon, available K, exchangeable cation (Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺), exchangeable anion (Cl¯ and HCO₃¯) along with micronutrient cation (Cu²⁺) for both d₁ and d₂ depths under paper mill effluent water irrigation. Although increase in value for available N, P and S were recorded for both d₁ and d₂ depths but they were found to be statistically at par with that of control.
