Impact of Distillery Effluent on germination and seedling growth of Pisum sativum L.
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Experimental effects of post-treated effluent from the outlet of anaerobic treatment plant (treated effluent), discharged from a distillery unit were studied in Pisum sativum. The physico-chemical characteristics of the effluent indicate that it is alkaline and rich in chlorides and total dissolved solids (TDS). Effluent colour is dark brown and has a pungent smell. Distillery effluent did not show any inhibitory effect on seed germination, vigor index, root length, shoot length and dry weight at a lower concentration (25%).
