Abstract

An industrial waste water of textile effluent was discharged on land and into water that effluent was induced environmental pollution. The pollution agent of textile effluent poses was used as plant growth because that effluent was contain several primary and secondary plant nutrients. The aim of the study was effect of effluent with respect to germination, morphology and biochemical characters of Arachis hypogaea L. variety K6 (groundnut). Dilution effluents (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) and treated effluent were irrigated on Arachis hypogaea L. Seed germination and seedling growth were gradually decreased with increase in effluent concentrations but the best seedling germination and growth was observed in treated effluent compared to other doses. All concentrations of textile effluent were injurious and reduction on plant growth and its morphological parameters of hypocotyls length and epicotyls length. Number of root branches was observed in all effluent concentrations and mostly root affected by 100% textile effluent compared control. Biochemical characters of amino acids and protein were also reduction by increase in effluent concentrations. Morphological and biochemical characters were better growth in treated effluent and followed by 25% effluent than all other concentrations of effluent. From this study was confirmed that treated textile effluent can be used as optimal growth of Arachis hypogaea L.
