The paper mills are generating significant quantities of solid wastes and
effluent. The scientific ways and means of recycling these solid wastes and effluent in
an integrated, eco-friendly manner for agricultural purposes have been the main
objective of the present investigation. In brief, in the present investigation, the possible
options and potential for agro-cycling of the treated paper mill effluent coupled with
the solid byproducts of the industry have been evaluated with special reference to
Sugarcane [CO 86032]. The pH and EC of the soil were increased by 0.1 and 0.12 units
due to continuous effluent irrigation. The organic carbon content and exchangeable
sodium content also increased due to effluent irrigation and solid waste amendments.
