Abstract

K. Madhusree Naidu and G. K. Raman

Seeds of Arachis hypogea L. were treated with different concentrations of sugar factory effluent. Germination of Arachis hypogea L. seeds were studied, chlorophyll contents were estimated. In 25%. 50% and 100% effluent the germination percentage and chlorophyll contents were decreased. On decreasing concentrations of the effluent to 1%, 2% and 5% there was no considerable effect on germination and chlorophyll content, suggesting the diluted effluent is less toxic to Arachis hypogeae L. seeds.
