An Impact of Tannery Effluents Among Rice Growers in Vellore District
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Tannery industry has become one of the major water consuming industries responsible for water pollution problems of considerable magnitude. The use of tannery effluent contaminates water for agricultural purpose had impacted rice growers in large scale. The present study has been conducted among rice growers in Walajapet block of Vellore district. A sample of 110 paddy farmers was selected using a proportionate random sampling method for the study. Ex-post facto research design has been used in this study. Results reveal that increased soil salinity, depleted soil nutrients, frequent pest and disease outbreak, increased cost of cultivation were the impacts faced by the paddy farmers.
