Abstract :

For the present study different quantities of zinc electroplating industry effluent residue(0,250,500,750,1000 and 1250) for treatment 0(control), 1,2,3, 4 and 5 on growth, biochemical characteristics and yield of black gram Phaseolus mungo was used. Growth parameters such as seed germination percentage, shoot and root length, fresh and dry weight, leaf area index and vigour index, biochemical characteristics such as chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll and carotinoid and yield of black gram were estimated after 60th day. From the results it is inferred that the growth parameters such as shoot and root length, dry weight, leaf area index, vigour index, biochemical characteristics such as chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll and carotinoid and yield were higher in T4.
