Abstract

The present investigation deals with the effect of refinery effluent on germination, shoot/root length, leaf, pods and seed yield of Vigna radiata. The seeds were grown in pots and treated with various concentrations of refinery effluent. Concentrations 0.5 and 1.0% and above were found to be deleterious while treated effluent with 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1% concentrations were found to be suitable for irrigation in comparison to ground water. A field experiment was also laid down and observations were interpreted that treated effluents can be effectively used for irrigation.
