Abstract

The present study has been made to assess the impact of combined industrial effluent from Industrial estate Bari Brahamana Jammu on seed germination of leguminous plants. The study revealed that values of anions fluoride, chloride, bromide, phosphate and sulphate and cations sodium, potassium and calcium o decreased with increase in dilution. In general in most of studied seeds it was observed that the values of seed germination percentage and rate of seed germination index decreased with increasing effluent concentration.
