Effect of coffee pulp effluent on quality, nutrient uptake and economics of hybrid napier grass

The field experiment was conducted during summer season in farmer's field at kollybyle village, Mudigere taluk, Chikamagalore district. In hybrid napier grass raw effluent irrigation (10.69 % and 9.86 %) and raw effluent irrigation along with soil inoculation of pleurotus (9.11 % and 9.09%) recorded significantly higher crude protein content as compared to fresh water irrigation (5.57 % and 4.85 %), lower fibre content was recorded in raw effluent (24.7 % and 23.8 %) and fresh water irrigation treatments (29.4 5 and 30.4 %) recorded highest fibre content both in first cut and second cut. Higher chlorophyll content was recorded in fresh water irrigation treatment (2.87 mg g-1 and 2.91 m g g-1) and lowest chlorophyll content was observed in raw effluent irrigation treatment (2.08 mg g-1 and 2.15 mg g-1) both in first cut and second cut.
