Abstract
The components generally present in textile industry effluents cause damage to water bodies, when untreated effluents are discharged into it. The aim of the present study is to observe impact of textile industry effluent on chlorophyll and nutrient content in tomato. Effluent of textile industry was procured from district Bhadohi and used in this study. A pot experiment was conducted adopting Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and three replications in the natural open weather conditions for 60 days during the plant season. Five concentrations viz; 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% were used for present experiment. Zero per cent concentration was treated as control. Observations related to chlorophyll and nutrient content (carbohydrate, nitrogen and protein) were recorded at different days after transplanting. Results indicate that chlorophyll and nutrient content gradually decreased with increase in effluent concentrations and the maximum amount was found at 0% concentration level whereas minimum was with 100% concentration. Keywords: Textile effluent, Tomato, Chlorophyll, Carbohydrate, Nitrogen and Protein content
