ABSTRACT:
Industrial effluents are increasingly being explored for agricultural reuse due to their nutrient content, despite potential toxicity risks. The present study evaluates the influence of varying concentrations of dyeing industry effluent residue on the growth performance, biochemical parameters, and yield of brinjal (Solanum melongena).
A pot culture experiment was conducted over a period of 90 days using graded doses of effluent residue ranging from 0 mg (control) to 1200 mg. Results indicated that lower concentrations (200– 600 mg) enhanced germination, growth, and biochemical constituents such as chlorophyll, carotenoids, and proteins
