Impact of Pollutant Load from Textile Dyeing Industry Wastewater on Biometric Growth Profile of Vigna radiata.

ABSTRACT

The phytoremediation of wastewater has certain advantages, but the interactions of soil and crop properties have not been systematically studied. This study aimed to analyze how different concentrations of textile dyeing industry wastewater (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) affected soil qualities, growth, and yield attributes (Vigna radiata). In reaction to dyeing effluent at varying concentrations, the seed germination percentage, growth metrics such as tolerance index, phytotoxicity percentage, relative toxicity, extreme and plumule length were calculated. With increasing effluent concentrations, a gradual decrease in the germination of seed and seedling growth was observed. The maximal relative toxicity and percentage of phytotoxicity was 100%. Interaction of biometric growth profile relative seed germination, relative root growth, relative shoot growth, growth index, and seedling vigor index of V. radiata and physicochemical parameter of textile dyeing industry wastewater were also investigated by using the Pearson correlation co-efficient. Principal component analysis (PCA) is helped to obtain and recognize the factors/sources accountability of different concentrations of textile dyeing industry wastewater. The results of the PCA revealed that four components (PC1 to PC4) out of total principal components retained PC1, PC2, with values of 69.25% and 28.85%, respectively.
