摘要：An experiment was conducted under laboratory condition to investigate the effect of different industrial effluents on germination of five different leafy vegetables seed. The effect of three effluents was compared with control water. The results stated that the industrial effluents significantly affect germination, root and shoot elongation of vegetable seeds. Indian spinach, Jute vegetables and stem amaranth was highly affected by dyeing and Pharmaceutical effluent. Germination percentages of Indian spinach in dyeing and pharmaceutical effluent treatment were 76% and 79%, respectively. In Kangkong, jute and stem amaranth germination percentage was 82%, 80% and 84% for dyeing effluent and 85%, 79% and 84% for pharmaceutical effluent treatment, respectively. Beverage effluent shows less toxic effect than other effluent for all leafy vegetables. Root length, shoot length was also significantly affected by the effluents. It has been concluded that dyeing and Pharmaceutical effluent significantly affected the germination and growth of seeds and seedlings of various vegetables.
