Effect of tannery effluent on germination, seedling growth and pigment content of Triticum aestivum L. var. PBW-373
The present study has been focussed on the effect of untreated tannery effluent on germination, seedling growth and pigment contents of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. PBW-373).Germination studies were conducted with wheat seeds having various concentrations of (4.5, 9, 13.5, and 18%) tannery efflu...

description | The present study has been focussed on the effect of untreated tannery effluent on germination, seedling growth and pigment contents of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. PBW-373).Germination studies were conducted with wheat seeds having various concentrations of (4.5, 9, 13.5, and 18%) tannery effluent and five treatments (Eo, E4.5, E9, E13.5 and E18).The +ve germination parameters i.e. cumulative percent germination, germination index etc. found to be maximum in E4.5. The –ve germination parameters like delay index, percent inhibition showed minimum values for E4.5. Growth parameters also decreased with increase in effluent concentration. The pigment contents i.e. chlorophyll-a and chlorophyll-b also showed good results at E4.5. |
