Abstract:

Waste water is important for plants for its growth and development and its use as irrigational source is very common in countries like India. In this study, waste water from outfalls of river Ganga in West Bengal region were analyzed season wise during the period of 2016. The effect of waste water was measured morphologically and biochemically on Mung Bean (Vigna radiata). An approach to study the range of low molecular weight peptide(s) (3-0.5 kDa) were taken through its isolation by solvent extraction method, ultra filtration and HPLC both in normal and treated plants.

The study during pre-monsoon and post monsoon season indicated by stem length, leaf length, lead width, petiole length and intermodal distance were found inhibited by waste water treatment. Whereas, the isolated peptide(s) induced by waste water treatment showed the inhibition of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata)seed germinations. The inhibition was found pronounced in premonsoon and post monsoon in comparing to monsoon season.
