Abstract

A significant reduction was observed in seed germination, plant growth, yield (total fresh weight and dry weight), protein concentration and amylase activity in rice plants. The chlorophyll and carotenoid content showed variable results with increasing concentrations of effluent. At lower concentration of effluent plant showed a significant stimulation in sugar content, while it was inhibited at 50, 75 and 100% concentration of effluent. Activity of enzyme catalase and peroxidase was found to be significantly increased with increasing supply of industry effluent in rice plants. Chemical properties of soil analysis showed that pH adversely affected with variable results, while calcium carbonate % and organic carbon % was increased with increasing concentrations of effluent.
