The field experiments were conducted to utilize the sugarcane pressmud in the farming of Solanum melongena as an organic fertilizer.

For growing of S. melongena, six agricultural fields were selected for the six amendments of sugarcane pressmud, viz., 0 % (garden soil as control), 20 % (20 % sugarcane pressmud + 80 % garden soil), 40 % (40 % sugarcane pressmud + 60 % garden soil), 60 % (60 % sugarcane pressmud + 40 % garden soil), 80 % (80 % sugarcane pressmud + 20 % garden soil) and 100 % (100 % sugarcane pressmud). S. melongena was grown in sugarcane pressmud-amended soil till harvest and impact of sugarcane pressmud on the soil and agronomical characteristics of S. melongena were determined.

The results showed that the sugarcane pressmud was rich in …
