Description :
Laboratory and field work has been carried out to study the effect of distillery effluent (coming
out of biomethanation plant of distillery) on seed germinability, seedling vigour and field
emergence of Black gram. In the present investigation the germination paper were soaked in
effluent at concentration ranging 1 o 100 percent and for control in distilled water. The black
gram seed germination percentage in control was 90%. In 100% effluent treatment, the
germination percentage was zero. From this experiment, it was observed that 1% and 5%
effluent treatment showed increase in germination percentage, seedling vigour and field
emergence over control. The germination percentage , seedling vigour and field emergence in
Black gram significantly decreased with increase in concentration of effluent above 5%.
