Abstract

Industrial manors are established to fulfill the demand of the growing population in the country. The opening of industries on one hand manufactures useful products but at the same time generates waste products in the form of solid, liquid, or gas that leads to the establishment of hazards, pollution and losses of energy. Most of the solid wastes and effluents are discharged into the soil and nearby water bodies and thus ultimately pretense a serious risk to the human and routine functioning of all ecosystems. The effluent discharging industries are distilleries, sugar mills, pulp and paper mills, detergents, chemical factories, textile dyeing industries, tanneries, electroplating, pharmaceuticals and dairy industries. Among the industrial effluents are characterized by a high load of pollutants. The effluent was different colours with unpleasant odours and also characterized with a high value of total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, BOD, COD and acidic pH. Both physical and chemical parameters are higher than that of the permissible limits set for irrigation except some heavy metals. Consequently, it shows that the effluents are not suitable for irrigation purposes. The reviewed deals with the phytotoxic effects of industrial effluents to dilute or recycle it as irrigation propose, for its possible nutritive value. The literature relating the effects of industrial effluents on seed germination and seedling growth, phytotoxicity, vigor index, and biochemical content of some agricultural crops.

Keywords: Industrial effluents, Seed germination, Phytotoxicity, and Biochemical content.
