Abstract
Textile industries consume high quantity of water and release it as toxic effluents after some colouring processes. However, some wastewater may be recycled as fertilizers in aquaculture and agriculture, horticulture after dilutions. But industrial effluent of synthetic products like azo dyes may be harmful for germination and growth performance of crop seeds. The present paper deals with the physico-chemical parameters of textile industrial effluents and its impacts on germination and growth performance of Wheat, Triticum aestivum (Family: Gramineae/ Poaceae). Seeds were found more tolerant against 25% concentrated effluent.
