Author(s): Mukesh Baboo
Abstract: The physico–Chemical characteristics of effluents from two different industries viz. Camphor and Allied Products Ltd. Bareilly and Superior Industry Ltd. Bareilly, were assessed and the effect of various concentrations (0%, 25%, 75% and 100%) on mineral uptake in Gram and Pea was determined. The study revealed that the % germination of Gram and Pea was severely affected by these effluent at higher concentrations, where a maximum germination was observed at 25% effluent concentration. The uptake of Fe, PO4, Zn and Cu was found to in increasing order and was highest at 100% effluent concentration. The above study reveals that the feasibility of using industrial effluent for growing vegetables and crops with proper dilution.
