Abstract

The study investigating the impact of selected industrial effluents on some morphological and biochemical characteristics of Triticum aestivum. The purpose for the study is that which effluents can be used as a low cost fertilizer. The result revealed that most of the morphological and biochemical parameters of T. aestivum were negatively influenced by application of concentrated effluents. The magnitude of inhibitory effects was maximum for marble industrial effluents while it was minimum for pharma industrial effluents. The pharma industrial effluents showed growth promoting effects on Triticum aestivum for some of its parameters. The paper industrial effluents also showed inhibitory effects on the test plants for both morphological and biochemical parameters which was less than marble effluents. Among the selected industrial effluents the pharma was less effective that promoted some of the morphologic and biochemical parameters of Triticum aestivum.
