Effect of Tannery Effluent on Germination and Nutrient uptake of Ragi

Abstract

                                To ascertain the effect of tannery effluent on seed germination and nutrient uptake of ragi, a Neubauer experiment was conducted, Germination, dry matter production and nutrient uptake of the crop were reduced significantly by increased concentration of the effluent. This effect was more pronounced in black soil. The adverse effect of the efflu- ent was mainly due to the high total soluble salt content.
