FIELD LEVEL STUDY ON THE UTILIZATION OF DYEING INDUSTRY EFFLUENT RESIDUE ON GROWTH OF CLUSTER BEAN Cyamopsis tetragonoloba

Abstract :

The present study deals with the field level study on the impact of different quantities of dyeing industry effluent residue(0,200, 400, 600, 800, 1000 and 1200 mg) on growth, biochemical characteristics and yield of Cluster bean Cyamopsis tetragonoloba . It was observed that the germination efficiency was higher in T4 (100%) and lower in T6 (60%). The growth characteristics such as shoot length, root length, total fresh weight, total dry weight, leaf area index and vigour index show a considerable reduction from 1000mg of dyeing industry effluent residue on 15th , 30th and 45th day. Biochemical characteristics such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, total soluble sugar and total soluble protein increased up to 800mg of effluent residue whereas anthocyanin, free amino acids, L– proline, and nitrate levels are highest in 1200mg of dyeing industry effluent residue treated plants. Yield performance was highest in 800mg of dyeing industry effluent residue treated plants.
