Abstract
The present investigation deals with the effect of different concentrations of refinery effluent on seed germination and seedling growth of Lens esculenta. The seeds were grown in pots and field and treated with various concentrations of refinery effluent. The plant showed positive effect on vegetative growth at lower concentration of the added refinery effluent, whereas higher concentration of refinery effluent showed gradual decrease in vegetative growth. The impact of petroleum refinery effluent irrigation on soil properties has been included in detail.
