Abstract

The present study has been carried out to see the effect of thermal power plant effluent collected from discharge side of Ukai thermal power plant, on biochemical changes of Pisum sativum L. Study was conducted up to 20 days. Experiments were in triplicates. Biochemical parameters of different parts (leaf, stem & root) of plants were done at every 5th day. Experiments were done using different concentrations of thermal power plant effluent like 20%, 50%, 80% & 100% as well as control for comparisons. Tap water was used as a control. Chlorophyll content (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b & total chlorophyll) was recorded highest at lower concentration of effluent. Other biochemical parameters such as protein & carbohydrate content also recorded highest at lower concentration of the effluent. The study reveals that the biochemical content of different parts of plants gradually declined with the increasing concentration of the effluent. The study suggests that the effluent may be used for agricultural purposes if proper dilution is taken up.
