Abstract :

Textile dyeing industry is one of the major water consuming and high polluting industries in India. Effluent in higher concentrations affect the soil and causes heavy damage to crops growth conditions. Recent awareness and growing global concern for deterioration in the quality of environment has induced great interest in the identifying the various types of pollutants and the effect on living organisms. The main objective of this study is solving the problem occurring by textile & dyeing industrial waste by using the agricultural important crops. The present study focused on find the Physico–chemical analysis of textile dyeing industry effluent, suitable black gram variety for tolerance to textile dye industry effluent through germination studies and identification of biochemical concentrations in treated black gram crop. Germination studies were carried out for various black gram varieties CO.2, CO.5, CO.593, ADT.5, LBG.20, T.9, TMV.1, TU.942, and VBG.23 and Vamban.2 Physico chemical characters of textile dyeing industry effluents were studied. Low concentration of the dye industry waste at 10% concentration proven that it is a growth promoting substances were present in the effluent. In the present study shows the root length, shoot length, total leaf area, dry weight and yield of black gram reduced due to sludge application. It is concluded that the textile dyeing industry effluent in higher concentration is toxic to crop plants. i.e lower concentration of textile dyeing industry enhances the germination and seedling growth. The lower concentration of effluent can be used for irrigation after proper treatment. Toxic effluents should be treated to reduce the toxic content from the sludge and utilized for the cultivation of crops with various combinations of soil, vermicompost, Bio–fertilizer, coir waste and cow dung etc.
