Abstract :

In the present research work, we attempted two investigational systems: one is treatment of the Yamuna River waste water by bacterial consortium and the other is impact of treated and untreated water on seedling growth of Vigna radiata in vitro. The bacterial consortium treated water sample showed a sharp reduction in BOD i.e. 59% and 72% in COD. The study of seed germination in vitro was carried out at 25, 50, 75 and100% concentrations of treated and untreated water. In case of seed germination among the different concentrations of Yamuna water, 25% concentration of untreated water and 100% concentration of bacterial consortium treated water showed stimulatory effect on the seed germination and other growth parameters of Vigna radiata over control. The result of the study indicates that Effective bacterial consortium helps in the reduction of water impurities to a extent and can be effectively used for irrigation.
