| Summary: | Natural dyes are extracted from leaves, flowers, fruits etc. These substances are natural,
hence after the extraction of natural dyes from them they are disposed off in the soil. Even the natural dyes after being used up are disposed off in the soil. Some experiments were conducted in order to show that these dyes during their production and after their use disposed in the soil, they do not spoil the soil quality. On the other hand the waste left after the extraction of dyes serves as manure, hence enriches the soil, Gram & Wheat were taken for experimental purpose, and their morphological characters like shoot length, root length, fresh weight & dry weight were studied by growing them in solutions containing different concentration of natural dyes. These characters were then compared with seed grown in deionised water. Analysis of variance was applied to know whether the difference was significant or insignificant.
