Effects of Protein Industry Effluent on the Seed Germination, Seedling Growth and Photosynthetic Pigment of Blackgram (Vigna mungo L. Var. 9)
The effect of different concentrations of protein industry effluent on seed germination, seedling growth and pigment content of blackgram has been studied in the laboratory conditions. The germination percentage, seedling growth, fresh weight and dry weight of seedlings, and photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll and carotenoid were found to be retarded with increase of effluent concentration. However, the effluent at lower concentration of 5% promoted these growth parameters. No germination was recorded at 75 and 100 percent effluent.
