IMPACT OF SUGAR INDUSTRY EFFLUENT OF SEED GERMINATION PLANT GROWTH AND ROOT-KNOT DISEASE DEVELOPMENT ON TOMATO (LYCOPERSICON ESCULENTUM MILL) & BRINJAL (SoLANUM MELONGENA L.)

摘要

In the present study an investigation was carried out to understand the effect of different concentrations of sugar industry effluent on seed germination, plant growth viz. root and shoot length and root - knot disease development. Percent of the germination and plant growth decreased while the root - knot index increased along with the increased concentration of the sugar factory effluent on tomato and brinjal plants.
