An attempt has been made to study the effect of distillery effluent on germination, growth and pigment productivity of Vigna sinensis L. The effluent was highly acidic and rich in total dissolved solids, suspended solids, potassium and sulphates. While diluted effluent increased the percentage of germination, growth, amount of chlorophyll and carotenoid, the effluent of higher concentrations elicited deleterious effects on the growth and productivity of the crop.

Abstract


An attempt has been made to study the effect of distillery effluent on germination, growth and pigment productivity of Vigna sinensis L. The effluent was highly acidic and rich in total dissolved solids, suspended solids, potassium and sulphates. While diluted effluent increased the percentage of germination, growth, amount of chlorophyll and carotenoid, the effluent of higher concentrations elicited deleterious effects on the growth and productivity of the crop.
