Abstract

Textile industrial effluents are highly polluted in nature and vary in its compositions. In the adjoining agricultural area of textile industries sector, there is immense degradation of crops productivity being contaminated by irrigation through tubewells or directly from the effluent drain or village pond. The present paper deals with the physico-chemical parameters of textile industrial effluents and its impacts on germination and growth performance of Lentil (Masoor) Lens esculentum, (Family: Leguminoceae, Sub-family: Papillionateae). Seeds were found more tolerant against 25% concentrated effluent.
