Abstract :

Disposal of industrial solid waste is one of the major problems of Industrial area of Kakinada. The present study aimed to study the �Effect of Industrial Solid Waste on chlorophyll content of Solanum melongena L. (Brinjal)�. The pot experiment of the soil amends in different concentrations of industrial solid waste 5%, 10%, 30% and 50% were taken. 21 d, 51 d, 81 d and 95 d of the chlorophyll content parameter were studied. The amounts of total chlorophyll of C plants recorded on 21, 51, 81 and 95 d were 0.223, 0.233, 0.618 and 0.093 mg/g, respectively. As such the total chlorophyll of C plants increased with the crop growth up to 81d and thereafter declined. The total chlorophyll content of the plants of grown in A1, A2, A3 and A4 soils have recorded lower chlorophyll values over C in all the harvesting days.
