Abstract:
Rapid industrialization, intensive agriculture and other anthropogenic activities have led to land degradation, environmental pollution and decline in crop productivity and sustainability causing great concern to human and animal health. One of the prominent sources contributing to increased soil contamination is disposal of municipal waste. The city sewage water is being largely used for irrigation in the adjoining areas of the cities for growing vegetable crops. In order to maintain the soils in better fertility as well as productivity for supply of essential plant nutrients for crop production on sustainable basis without deteriorating the soil health. It becomes imperative to make thorough studies on the impact of sewage applied to agriculture lands.
In the present studies seeds germination was evaluated under sewage and LASER irradiation to know the effect of these components on seed germination capacity. LASER light enhances the seed germination percentage as compared to control.
