Abstract

Seeds of hordeum vulgare were used as test material. The various concentrations of treated effluents and control were taken for the study in triplicate. It was observed that seed germination, plant growth, total fresh weight, photosynthetic pigments, sugar and protein concentrations and amylase activity was found to be significantly decreased with increase in concentrations of effluent. Total dry weight showed enhancement at 25, 50 and 75% concentrations of effluent while a decrease was observed at 100% concentration of effluent. Catalase and peroxidase enzymes showed variable results at increasing concentrations of effluent.
