Abstract
The study entitled effect of industrial effluents on seed quality attributes of cereal
crops was carried out in the Department of Seed Science and Technology, University of
Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad.
Results of the first experiment revealed that, 5% concentration of effluent for maize,
sorghum and wheat, 10% concentration of effluent for paddy and maize was fond as the
optimum concentration level for west coast paper mills, Dandeli, 5% concentration of
effluent for maize, sorghum and wheat, 5% concentration of effluent for paddy and 2.5%
concentration of effluent for bajra for Shreyas Plastics, Gadag, 5% concentration of effluent
for maize, paddy and wheat, 10% concentration for sorghum and 2.5% concentration of
effluent for bajra for Karnataka Milk Federation, Dharwad, 10% concentration of effluent for
maize and sorghum, 5% concentration for paddy and bajra and 2.5% concentration for wheat
are considered as the optimum concentration level for the Pumpasagar Distilleries, Bellary.
Second experiment study results revealed that among the different tested for maize, paddy,
bajra. The different industrial effluents used West Coast Paper Mills, Dandeli out performed
the other industrial effluents. Whereas, for sorghum and wheat Pumpasagar Distilleries,
Bellary and Sri. Lakshmi Narayana Distilleries Pvt. Ltd., Garag out performed the other
industrial effluents respectively. Among the different maize varieties tested KH-517 proved
little bit resistance to different industrial effluents. Similarly for sorghum, CSV-216 variety,
for paddy Jaya variety, for wheat DWR-2006 variety and for bajra HC-4 variety proved little
bit resistance to different industrial effluents.
Therefore, the study revealed both positive and negative impact on its beneficial and
harmful effects. Hence, there is a need to standardize the effective optimum level of different
industrial effluents in field condition in relation to seed quality.
