Abstract

The  present  study  has  been  made  to  evaluate   the  impact  of  treated   and  untreated distillery effluent  from M/s   Devans  Modern  Breweries   Ltd.  Talab  Tillo,   Bohri,  Jammu  on  seed  germination,  growth   parameters  and yield  of  Bitter  Gourd  (Momordica  charantia L.  var.  Jaunpuri  Super  Special).  From  the  analysis  of  data  and  the impact  of  distillery   effluent   on various  quantitative morphological features of  Momordica charantia, it  can  be concluded  that  the  Untreated   Distillery  Effluent is  detrimental  for  the  growth   of  plants  whereas  Treated Distillery   Effluent  without  dilution  is  also  harmful  for  agriculture.
