Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of textile industry effluent in relation to growth and metabolism of wheat plants. It was observed in the present study the germination percentage, plant growth, yield, photosynthetic pigments, sugar and protein concentrations and total amylase was significantly decreased at increasing concentrations of effluent. While two important iron enzymes such as catalase and peroxidase was found to be significantly increase with increasing concentrations of effluent. pH and organic carbon % was significantly increased while calcium carbonate % showed variable results by increasing the concentrations of effluent as compared to control.
