Abstract

Sprouting and growth of Rose (Rosa) and Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosasinenis) flowering plants was made by irrigated with distillery spentwash of different concentrations. Thespentwash i.e., primary treated spentwash (PTSW), 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 spent wash were analyzedfor their plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and other physical andchemical characteristics. Experimental soil was tested for its chemical and physical parameters.Rose and Hibiscus sets were planted in different pots and irrigated with raw water (RW), 1:1,1:2 and 1:3 spentwash. The nature of sprouting and growth was studied. It was found that thesprouting and growth of both plants was very good (100%) in 1:3 SW irrigation, while very poor(25%) in 1:1 SW, moderate (80%) in 1:2 SW and 95% in RW irrigation growth.
