“…V. radiata is one of the important test species used to evaluate the phytotoxicity of environmental pollutants [9,10]. A. cepa (2 = 16) is used for chemical screening and in situ monitoring of the genotoxicity of heavy metals, effluents, and herbicides [11][12][13][14].…”

Pulp and paper mill effluent induced phytotoxicity and genotoxicity in mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) and root tip cells of onion (Allium cepa L.) were investigated. Physicochemical characteristics such as electrical conductivity (EC), biological oxygen demand (BOD 5 ), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total phenols of the pulp and paper mill effluent were beyond the permissible limit specified for the discharge of effluent in inland water bodies. Compared to control plants, seedling exposed to 100% effluent concentration showed a reduction in root and shoot length and biomass by 65%, 67%, and 84%, respectively, after 5 days of treatment. A. cepa root tip cells exposed to effluent concentrations ranging from 25 to 100% v/v showed a significant decrease in mitotic index (MI) from 32 to 11% with respect to control root tip cells (69%) indicating effluent induced cytotoxicity. Further, the effluent induced DNA damage as evidenced by the presence of various chromosomal aberrations like stickiness, chromosome loss, anaphase bridge, c-mitosis, tripolar anaphase, vagrant chromosome, and telophase bridge and micronucleated and binucleated cell in A. cepa. Findings of the present study indicate that pulp and paper mill effluents may act as genotoxic and phytotoxic agents in plant model system.

“…Thus it is an important to understand the specificity of crop-effluent liaison for their appropriate application in irrigation practices (Vinod et al, 2010). In recent past various studies have been made on the characteristics of effluent of industries, agronomical properties of various crop plants (Osemwota et al, 2000;Gomez et al, 2001;Ramana et al, 2002;TseMing et al, 2004;García-Orenes et al, 2005;Kaushik et al, 2005;Osemwota et al, 2005;Nastri et al, 2006;Sharif et al, 2006;Hati et al, 2007;Roy et al, 2007;Afshin et al, 2008;Beligh et al, 2007;Bharagava et al, 2008;ChinChing et al, 2008;Kannan and Upreti, 2008;Patterson et al, 2008;Biswas et al, 2009;Chandra et al, 2009;Chopra et al, 2009;Hassanli et al, 2009;Jeremy et al, 2009;Mohammadi et al, 2010;Osadebamwen, 2010;Stoecio et al, 2010;and Vinod et al, 2010). Keeping in view the above facts, a field experiment was conducted to study the effect of graded doses of Sugar mill effluent application on the physical and physico-chemical properties of a loamy sand soil at Haridwar (Uttarakhand).…”

Abstract:The influence of seven rates of Sugar mill effluent (viz. 0, 5, 10 25, 50, 75 and 100 ml/kg soil) along with control (Bore-well water, BWW) on the physical and chemical properties of soils revealed that among various concentrations of the effluents, the irrigation with 100% effluent concentration decreased moisture content (20.44%),WHC (13.80%), BD (4.14%) and increased pH (9.56%), EC ( , TKN, NO 3 2-, PO 4 3-and SO 4 2-, Zn, Cu, Cd, Cr and Pb and insignificant (P>0.05) effect on moisture content, WHC and bulk density after sugar mill effluent irrigation when compared to control. There was no momentous change in the soil texture of the soil. The enrichment factor (Ef) of various micronutrients in the soil was recorded in order of Cr>Pb>Cd>Cu>Zn after irrigation with sugar mill effluent.

“…Short-term application of 50% DE along with bioamendments proved to be the most useful in improving the properties of sodic soil (Kaushik et al, 2005). Effluent irrigation generally adds significant quantities of salts to the soil environment such as sulfates, phosphates, bicarbonates, chlorides of the cations sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium that stimulate the growth at lower concentration but inhibit at higher concentration (Patterson et al, 2008).It has been reported reported that DE (spent wash) discharged as wastewater contains various nutrients and toxic chemicals that can contaminate water and soil which may affect the common crops if used for agricultural irrigation (Kannan and Upreti, 2008). In the present study, the soil characteristics have been found to change on irrigation with 100% concentration of DE after 60 days of S. oleracea crop harvesting.…”

Abstract:The aim of the present study was to estimate the accumulation of heavy metals in Spinacea oleracea plant grown in Distillery Effluent (DE) irrigated soil. The results revealed that there was an increase in the metal contents Fe (+2.39%), Zn (+14.27%), Ni (+70.45%), Cd (+34.15%)and Cr (+20.46%) of soil irrigated with DE. In case of S. oleracea grown in the DE irrigated soil, it was observed that there was maximum concentration of Fe (353.24±7.94 mg/kg) and Zn (78.95±7.59 mg/kg) in leaves and that of Cr (54.19±8.39 mg/kg), Cd (7.73±1.41 mg/kg) and Ni (66.47±3.65 mg/kg) in root. The value of Bio-concentration factor (BCF) was found maximum for Cr (2.00) in comparison to other metals in the S. oleracea irrigated with DE. The value of Transfer factor (TF) was found maximum for Zn (TF-1.51) for the soil irrigated with DE in comparison to soil irrigated with Bore well water (BWW). The DE can be a source of contamination to the soil as some toxic metals may also be transferred to roots and then to leaves in S. oleracea. The practice of continuous irrigation of agricultural land by DE may increase the risk of metal contamination in growing food crops to cause human health risks.
