Irrigation with the combined raw effluent from paper and pulp mill reduced the germination and vigour indices of crop plants. The combined effluents after dilution did not significantly affect the germination and growth. The combined effluent after aerobic treatment in a benchscale activated sludge system, when used for irrigation without any dilution favoured the growth of crop plants.
Keywords: Effluent irrigation, Paper mill effluent, vigour indices.
