The effect of industrial wastewater in seed Growth rate: A Review

Environmental pollution constitutes a great health hazard to human, animals and plants with local, regional and global implications. Pollution has adverse effects on land, water and its biotic and a biotic components. Effluents from industries are normally considered as the main industrial pollutants containing organic and inorganic compounds The increasing agricultural reuse of treated effluent serves goals such as promoting sustainable agriculture, preserving scare water resources, and maintaining environmental quality. Moreover, irrigating with waste water may reduce purification levels and fertilization costs, because soil and crops serve as bio-filters, while waste water contains nutrients. Bio assays can be used to measure putative environmental risks. They are reliable, cost effective, quick and simple. The use of plants offers an advantage over other organisms because they can be more sensitive to environmental stresses. They are also easy to manipulate and store and furthermore, they offer a low-cost and good correlation. Use of industrial effluents for irrigation purposes is a highly warranted utility of water pollutants proposition. The objective of using waste water for irrigating crop plants. The first and foremost of this is the safe disposal of the effluents, which may otherwise have adverse effects on the environment and human health. The other objective is to recycle it as irrigation water, as compost for its possible fertilizer value. The literature relating the influence of industrial waste water on seed and seedling quality characters irrespective of crops.
