Abstract
This study examined the effects of different levels of distillery effluents (referred to as RSW, BSW, and LS) on two varieties of soybean (Glycine max) called Punjab-1 and Alankar collected from Shamli Distillery and Chemical Works at Shamli (U.P.). In the study, concentrations ranged between 0.5% to 55% were used. Standard tap water was used as a control. Workers conducted germination tests on seeds of both soybean varieties with various levels of effluent treatments. The results showed that at lesser concentrations, there was a noticeable increment in both the proportion of germination and the germination rate index. However, if the concentration exceeded 5% for RSW and 10% for BSW and LS effluents, it hindered seed germination. These trends remained similar pertaining to the growth and biochemical aspects of plants from the two cultivars
