Abstract
Currently Indian sugarcane industry is facing and will continue to face
many challenges. Worldwide, growing concerns of scientists, policy makers and
administrators are forcing sugarcane scientists to develop eco-friendly and
economically viable technology for safe and effective disposal of sugarcane crop
residues and industrial wastes to increase sugarcane productivity, improve soil health
and reduce cost and mitigate climate change by managing the in situ crop residues and
sugar industrial wastes generated from sugar factory and field itself.
With this view in mind, the present investigation entitled, “Effect of
long term in situ recycling of sugarcane trash and industrial waste on carbon pools
and soil health under sugarcane land use system in an Inceptisol ” was undertaken by
collecting depth wise pre and post harvest soil samples from completed long term
field experiment conducted at C.S.R.S., Padegaon Dist. Satara (MS) during the year
2011-12 to 2015-16.
In order to recycle the available sugarcane residues generated from
sugar factory and experimental site in the holistic way, the nine treatments were
formulated by adjusting the recommended fertilizer dose of sugarcane through
different levels and combinations of pressmud compost, biomethanated spent wash
and chemical fertilizers, were evaluated in Randomized Block Design with three
replications for a period of five year for assessing the C fractions, SOC stock CMI and
soil properties from pre and post harvest soil samples
