Popis: An experiment was conducted during rabi season in the year 2021-22 at Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry, Laboratory of Sangam University, Bhilwara (Rajasthan) India, to evaluate the “Effect of textile effluent on seed germination and early growth of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and Mustard (Brassica juncea L.): A case study” consist of four (Treated industrial effluent) treatment (T1) freshwater, (T2) 25% effluent+75% fresh water, (T3) 50% effluent+50 % fresh water, (T4) 75 % effluent+25% freshwater to determine the effects of textile effluent’s toxicity on wheat and mustard seed germination rates and early growth as well as growth factors like plumule and radicle length. With higher effluent concentrations, the proportion of seed germination and seedling growth gradually decreased. Germination percentage, plumule and radicle length of seedlings were lowest in the treatment T4 (75% effluent + 25% fresh water) and highest in treatment T2 (25% effluent + 75 fresh water) treatment.
