EFFECT OF CHLORALKALI SOLID WASTE EFFLUENT ON ROOT MORPHOLOGY OF A LITTLE MILLET CROP

K. L. Barik

Abstract :

 ?e little millet (Panicum sumatrense Rath ex. Roem and Schult) crop variety SS. 81–1, exposed to chlor–alkali solid –2 –2 –2 –2 waste effluent @ 100 g m (treatment – 1), 200 g m (treatment – 2), 300 g m (treatment – 3) and 400 g m (treatment – 4) was studied in vivo at the Agriculture Research Station, Ankuspur in the District of Ganjam, Odisha at an interval of 15 days starting from 30 days after sowing (DAS) till harvest of the crop following the ICAR technology proposed by Seetharam (1994) with little modification depending upon the soil condition and climate of the locality. ?e length of adventitious root increased with the increase in sampling period in all treatment and control beds. However, a gradual decreasing trend in length was observed from control to treatment–1, treatment–2, treatment–3 and then to treatment–4 in all the sampling period. ?e number of adventitious root on the other hand reduced gradually from control to treatment–4 during early stages of growth i.e. on 30DAS and 45DAS, ?ereafter, the number showed a trend of control < Treatment – 1 < Treatment – 2 < Treatment – 3 > Treatment – 4 at 60 DAS, 75 DAS and 87 DAS. Maximum numbers of adventitious roots were recorded during 75 DAS in all control and treatment beds.
