Abstract :

The present study deals with the impact of different quantities of dyeing industry effluent residue on growth, biochemical characteristics and yield of Bhendi Abelmoschus esculentus. Germination percentage, shoot length, root length, the total fresh weight, total dry weight and vigour index of Bhendi were higher in T1 (200 mg of residue). The chlorophyll a, total chlorophyll, carotenoid content and total soluble sugar of Bhendi were higher in T3.The anthocyanin, free amino acids L– proline, leaf nitrate, peroxidase and catalase of Bhendi were higher in T6.The total soluble protein of Bhendi was higher in T2 . The nitrate reductase content of Bhendi was higher in T1 .The length, weight and number of fruits of Bhendi were higher in T3 with 600 mg of dyeing industry effluent residue. From the results it is inferred that the growth parameters yield performance were higher in T1 (200 mg) and T3 (600 mg) respectively.
