Eco-physiological effects of dairy effluent on seed germination and seedling growth of brassica juncea (l.) czern. & coss

Samples of dairy effluent were collected from Parag Milk Plant, Meerut. The different concentrations (25, 50 and 100%) of treated and untreated effluent were used in this experiment. Tap water served as control. Effects of dairy effluent were studies on Brassica juncea L., which is grown as oil crop in India. It was observed that 25% conc. of dairy effluent increased the germination percentage, seedling growth, dry weight of root and shoot, chlorophyll content and seed yield as compared to control.
