摘要
The present study was planned to determine the effects of electroplating industry effluent on germination and various growth parameters (shoot length, root length, numbers of nodes and internodes) of Triticum aestivum and Hordeum vulgare. Biochemical characteristics i.e. estimation of proline, protein and sugar content were also studied. Heavy metals form a major category of contaminants reported to be present in large quantities in wastewaters and are matter of concern due to their toxicity and non-biodegradable nature. Heavy metals released into the environment shows regular increasing trends which is a significant threat to the environment and public health. Results revealed that the application of effluent on the studied plants Triticum aestivum and Hordeum vulgare directly affects the growth parameters and the biochemical characteristics.
