| description | Abstract The sugarcane industry often utilizes effluent for irrigation purposes; however, its intricate composition and elevated metal contaminants pose a potential risk of soil and crop contamination. Consequently, it is imperative to employ effective strategies to ensure the safe utilization of this resource for crop cultivation. One such strategy involves the dilution of sugarcane industry effluent. Dilution is a practical approach to mitigate its toxicity, minimizing its adverse impact on soil and crop health. That’s why the current study explored the best dilution of sugarcane industrial effluent (SW) for cultivating canola varieties. A total of 15 canola varieties were cultivated 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% SW. Results showed that 60% SW Faisalabad Canola and Punjab Canola improved germination, shoot length, root length, shoot fresh and dry weight, root fresh and dry weight, and chlorophyll contents compared to other treatments and control. AARI Canola and CON-III showed poor growth and chlorophyll contents under 60%SW. Dunkled and Oscar cultivars showed moderate improvement in growth and chlorophyll contents under 60SW. The 60% SW can be recommended for maximum growth benefits in canola cultivars, specifically Faisalabad Canola and Punjab Canola. At 20SW, the root dry weight of Faisalabad Canola increased by 2.7%, while Punjab Canola increased by 3.4%. Canola showed the highest increase in POD activity compared to the control, with a 55.45% increase, followed by Sandal Canola, with a 43.26% increase. However, additional field-level experiments are needed to determine the best cultivars suitable for optimal growth under 80SW and 60SW irrigation conditions. |
