Abstract

A An attempt has been made to study the effect of distillery effluent on germination, growth and pigment productivity of Capsicum frutescence, L. The effluent was highly acidic and rich in total dissolved solids, suspended solids, potassium and sulphates. Higher concentrations (>5%) of effluent were found to be toxic but however, can be used for irrigation purpose after proper dilution.
