Cultivation of some top vegetables was made by irrigation with distillery spent wash of different proportions. The spent wash i.e., primary treated spent wash (PTSW), 50% and 33% spent wash were analyzed for its plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and other physical and chemical parameters. Experimental soil was tested for its chemical and physical parameters. Top vegetables seeds (Namadhari and Mayhco) were sowed in the prepared land and irrigated with raw water (RW), 50% and 33% spent wash. The impact of spent wash on the yields of vegetables at their maturity periods was investigated.
