An experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of untreated textile dyes effluents i.e. red, green and yellow (25, 50, 75 and 100% concentrations) and treated effluents on nodulation in Pisum sativum. Similar experiment was conducted on the effect of different concentrations of three different chemicals (soda ash, sodium sulphide and caustic soda) used in processing in M/S Hindustan Electro Graphites (a unit of Bhilwara group). The study revealed that even the lower concentrations of the untreated effluent was inhibitory which suggest that waste water from textile mill could not be utilized as su...
