Characterization and impact of dyeing factory effluent on germination and growth of Maize (CO 1) and Cowpea (CO 4)

Abstract

Recycling of solid and liquid wastes is gaining importance in recent years to reduce environmental pollution and at the same time to cope up with the shortage of resources. A study was carried out to elucidate an appropriate dilution of dyeing factory effluent for irrigating agricultural crops. A pot culture experiment was conducted as a preliminary study to determine the effect of dyeing factory effluent on cowpea (CO 4) and maize (CO1) seedlings, which revealed that at lower concentrations (25 and 50 per cent) the effluent favoured the seed germination and growth of seedlings and increased the microbial activity in soil.

Keywords: Dyeing factory, Effluent, Irrigation, Characterization.
