Abstract

An experiment was conducted to find out the toxic effect of textile dyeing effluents on germination and seedling stage for the production of okra. There were eight treatments comprising seven stages of textile dyeing effluents along with ground water as control treatment for irrigation purpose and okra (Lady’s finger) was used as plant material. In most of the cases ground water irrigation (T1 treatment) treated plant showed the best result regarding plant characteristics such as germination percentage (100 %), fresh (92.43 g) and dry (10.20 g) weight of plant, yield/plant (67.97 g) which were statistically similar to neutralization treatment (T5). On the contrary mixed effluent from equalization tank (T8 treatment) showed the lowest result of germination percentage (66.67 %), fresh (57.87 g) and dry (5.78 g) weight of plant and yield/plant (24.64 g). T1 treatment showed the highest amount of ascorbic acid (1.34 mg/100 g) and β-carotene (0.08 mg/100 g) and T8 treatment showed the lowest amount (0.65 mg/100 g and 0.02 mg/100 g respectively). The accumulation of heavy metals such as Zn, Fe, Cu, Pb accumulated in fruits at the rate of 3.95-9.73, 3.34-9.61, 4.43-11.31 and 2.79-8.72 ppm respectively. Among these T2 (7.52 ppm), T4 (6.57 ppm), T7 (9.73 ppm) and T8 (7.85 ppm) treated sample containing Zn; T2 (10.33 ppm), T4 (8.39 ppm), T7 (11.31 ppm) and T8 (8.67 ppm) treated sample containing Cu and T2 (8.23 ppm), T3 (8.09 ppm), T4 (4.20 ppm), T6 (6.30 ppm), T7 (6.19 ppm) and T8 (8.72 ppm) treated sample containing Pb exceed the WHO recommended permissible limit that bears the most concerning issues for human health hazards.
